| Francis Fleetwood. |
I've known Francis Fleetwood for three decades. We served on a board and executive committee together.
I've sailed on his boat
Bendigo with him many times and we even won a big race together.
In East Hampton he is well known as a sought-after architect.
He was paragliding a couple of years ago and survived a fall on rocks that would have killed most people. He went through a long period of recuperation and therapy.

| Keep calm. Carry on. |
He sent me a photo of him being treated. I have cropped out the scaffolding around his legs. You can see in his eyes the pride of spirit: "Keep Calm. Carry On."
Blake Fleetwood notified us today that Francis died yesterday after having passed his recent physical exam with a clean bill of health.
He had been to Cuba recently taking pictures of historic homes. They can be seen here:

Francis had just returned from a photo trek in Patagonia. The Fleetwood family believes that a 24-hour delay in the flight back contributed to creating a blood clot that killed him.
Our sympathies go to his wife Stephanie and to other members of the Fleetwood family.
Great architect.
Good friend.
Thoughtful companion.
