"Dear Francis,
before the sky kidnapped you forever, you showed fervent passion and competence for flying, the same pillars on which the daily work of the women and men of the Air Force rests. They all knew you as a professional ready for duty and tied to the our Armed Force by common traditions and values.I hope you can be an example, as a man of excellent qualities, for all the numerous representatives of the world of aviation, to whom I address these words of closeness, condolence and affection from the Air Force .
