Friends of Mark Francis. Please join us in celebrating the life of a dear departed friend. We will be gathering at Paine’s Restaurant at 421 East Street in Hollister on Sunday, September 21st, 2014, at 1:00 P.M., to share collected stories and to raise our glasses to Mark, to roast and to toast. As a friend of his, you know he would want nothing less than a rip-roaring party! We hope that you can join us in making this happen. RSVP’s are appreciated; please call 831-634-1144 to RSVP or for more information.
 Mark suddenly and sadly left this earth on July 31, 2014. He may have left this earth, but his spirit, his generous nature, his tall tales and his stories live on.
