I send my deepest condolences. I have known you just for two years,however we talked a lot and you taught me many things. When we first met, I just came to Australia and my English was not good, but you always listened to me patiently and gave me great advices.I wish I had met you earlier in my life. I wanted to ask you more things. I really miss you.

To Francis’s family, I send my deepest condolences. I have known Francis for about 20 years. We met in Malaysia when as head of the School of Architecture & Design at the University of Tasmania, Francis and I made it possible for some of his students to study in Tasmania. His commitment to his students was inspiring and very quickly I came to have a very high level of respect and admiration for him. Over the years, and over many lunches, we became good friends, and we communicated recently through social media. It came as a shock to hear that he had passed away but I know his faith has sustained him throughout his incredibly creative and productive life - one that was energised by his deep humanity. With love to his family and friends, Roger
