Congressman Bob Franks

Bob Franks was my congressman and my friend.  As a public servant, candidate and leader of the Healthcare Institute of New Jersey he brought enthusiasm, humor and decency to his every endeavor.  His untimely death from an aggressive form of cancer this past week reminds us not only how too short life is but how we should never take for granted indiviudals of Bob's caliber.
