To the family of Francis Sentes I am saddened to read of the passing of Francis. There are many memories of the times he and Margaret helped at my school, St. Joan of Arc. Sincere condolences to the family. Albert Potyondi ~ Albert Potyondi


Margaret and family, Our sympathies are with all of you. We will miss our stop-in chats, his friendly banter and chuckles when we were on our walks. Praying God’s comfort be with you. ~ Larry and Kathy Wilson


Margaret, Brian, Brenda, Cheryl and families. Sending you our deepest sympathy. Take Care ~ George & Barb


Francis was a special person. He always had a twinkle in his eye and a friendly welcome whenever he was with others. He took great pride in keeping his school clean and he was quick to remind me about my dirty shoes when I tried to sneak by him. We had lots of laughs over that. I really enjoyed his wit and humour. I was fortunate to work with him at St. Jerome for a number of years. I will miss him and I am happy to recall many fond memories of the times we interacted. My deepest sympathy to his family. Rest in peace Francis. ~ Dennis Thiele

Margaret and families: Our deepest condolences on the loss of Francis recently. Our prayers are with you. ~ Ed and Betty Borbely


So sorry to hear of your loss. He always did his job cheerfully, even when us kids at St. Jerome were not that well-behaved. I ran into Mr. Sentes a couple years ago and he was still chuckling about the bratty things we did... hugs and prayers go out to his family. ~ Amber (Trenouth) Doerksen
