It is with great sadness we all lost our beloved Father Fran a.k.a. Reverend Francis Roberge known for his hundreds of committal services at the Massachusetts Veterans Memorial Cemetery and all over Northwestern Central MA. He was the kindest man and would accept everyone no matter what religion one was. He was warm and welcoming and sincerely cared for others especially at need. It is heartbreaking news to hear of his passing as so many of us saw him so soon before he passed never would we have thought it would be the last time. :(
