We are sad to announce that, on March 24, 2025, at the age of 94, Richard Franzen of Joliet, Illinois passed away. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Richard Franzen to pay them a last tribute.

In the quiet moments of reflection, amidst the gentle rustle of leaves and the whispered song of the stars, we shall carry Richard's memory with us, a guiding light illuminating the path ahead. May Richard's journey be filled with peace and serenity, and may he find rest in the embrace of eternity.
