Hombre trabajador, Francisco se dedicó a brindar una vida cómoda y amorosa a su familia. Sus manos siempre estaban ocupadas, ya fuera atendiendo sus pequeños proyectos personales, cuidando su jardín o preparando comidas impregnadas de esmero y sabor. Su amor por la música estuvo siempre presente, al igual que su gusto por lo dulce. Disfrutaba de sus dulces y chicles, placeres sencillos que añadían dulzura a sus días.

El logro del que Francisco se sentía más orgulloso era su familia, un testimonio de los valores que atesoraba y del amor que vertió en sus vidas. Le sobrevive su amada esposa de 57 años, Elia V. Domínguez, una compañera inquebrantable en el viaje de la vida. Juntos criaron a cinco hijos: Rita, Maricela, Francisco Jr., Margarita y Juan. Su legado continúa a través de sus nietos: Cole, Brandon, Evan, Rene, Francisco Valentine y Elia Marie; así como de seis bisnietos. También le sobreviven sus hermanas, Christina y Sara, junto con muchos sobrinos, primos y amigos entrañables que fueron tocados por su bondad y alegría.
