Francis Loftus (15 Feb 1955 - 8 Mar 2018)

Frank touched the lives of many people and gave the most anyone could give without the thought of reward, your time was the most valuable thing which you gladly gave to anyone.
Till we meet again.

Will miss you Frank will never forget when I first started to play rugby I turned to you and said what do I do now Frank and you said stand over there I think it was behind the posts 😜

You were a good friend Frank, someone to share a joke with and a pint. I remember that foggy Saturday, years ago when you were our fullback, staring into the fog and shouting to you to check you were still there somewhere. I always enjoyed being with you, we had some good laughs and I regret not meeting up with you and Wendy more often.

I remember Frank starting work as an apprentice at the Homefire Works and watched his career progress. He persuaded me to start playing rugby again and we shared many Wales/England discussions lightheartedly. Frank was always a carer on so many levels with time to talk and listen to people and will be missed but remembered with fondness. Sincere condolences to Wendy and the family.

Several years ago we played together on the VETS tour to Holland... Fast forward 20 years and we meet at a DWP event..... The conversation flowed as though the last time we'd spoken was the day before. Not just about rugby but life, family and the best places to visit. As I remember the conversation was far better than the entertainment. It was a wonderful evening.
Wendy our condolences to you and your family. Frank will be sadly missed!
