I worked with Mike from 1978-1980, and we kept in touch as friends and business associates ever since. Reunited with him about ten years ago in NYC. He had been absent from Facebook for a long while, so I investigated on Google, and was shocked to see he had passed. He was witty, intelligent, and a fellow artist. He will be missed. My deepest condolences to the family. May he find new subjects for his camera in the Big Beyond....
For all of Michael's dear friends:
Thank you for kind thoughts and words during the difficult time of accepting the loss of my brother Michael. After having met you and hearing you speak of your experiences with Michael, I know that you knew him intimately and were true friends. Knowing that he left this world loved and surrounded by true friends is a great comfort to me and the rest of the Francese family.

Our deep condolences: I remember when I first met Michael. It was at his daughter's first birthday celebration. His then wife was my best friend and had invited a few of us to celebrate with them this new precious gift. I remember him being so proud of the names they given their baby girl. Michael always wore a smile when he talked. Through the years we crossed paths since he worked in the same facility where I worked. He always stopped to say high and say one or two words. Yes, he is going to be missed, especially by his beautful daughter who just turned into a teenager at 13 years old this year. It is comforting to know that his daughter was able to say her good byes before her father past on and even prayed for him day before he died asking God to heal her Dad. May he rest in perfect peace knowing that his name will live on through family that loved and cared for him very much. Nothing can change or erase that. My deep condolences to Michael's entire family, to his 2 brothers Mr. Robert franchise and Mr. Peter Franchise I wish you deep peace and strength from the Lord. May you take comfort knowing that we shall see see him again when the dead in Christ shall rise and we meet Jesus face to face. Take heart my Niece, your Dad is has fought a good fight and has gone to rest. :pray: :pray::pray:

I met Michael back around 2006 or 2007 at the Johnny's Barbecue Blues Jams. When I heard him play I knew he was someone I would like to do some gigs with. We did several through the years, at restaurants and clubs. We even did the house band bit at two or three burlesque shows. It was always a joy to play music with Michael. I posted a few photos on this site.
And he was a good friend, good company. I miss him already.
A bow and a prayer my good friend,
Abner
