Francisco Pease
September 03, 2008
Francisco Pease died peacefully on September 2, at 4:00 a.m. He had been on life-support for over a week. A Memorial Service will be held at St. Paul's Montrose on Saturday, September 6, at 11:00 a.m. The family will receive visitors immediately following the service at a luncheon reception, hosted by the Women of St. Paul's, in the parish house.
Francisco was the teenage grandson of The Rev. Henry Pease who died March 13 of this year. Many remember Henry's courageous trip to Ecuador in 2000 to rescue his three grandsons, then ages 3, 5 and 8. He took them into his Saddle Lake home, near Tunkhannock, where he had been living alone, legally adopted them to be his sons, and cared for them until his death eight years later. An April 2002 Diocesan Life story about the rescue may be downloaded here.
