In memory of Neil Stuart Francis, beloved husband of Magali and father of Neil Kenneth. 

Entire books could be written about the adventures and achievements which made up Neil’s life. Over the course of his life he managed to step foot on every continent, sail every ocean, and soar in the skies. All of which was made possible by his sheer will to make the most out of what life has to offer and take every opportunity he could.  Never one to sit idly, there was nothing he loved more than to try something new.

From his vast experiences grew a great wisdom, joy, and sense of humour which all those close to him deeply cherished. With an uncanny ability to tell stories which both inspired and encouraged, there are so many who came away from interactions with him with a renewed vigour to go and live life to the fullest. While he has been called on to the next great adventure far too soon, his memory will endure in the hearts and minds of his family and friends for many years to come.
