                        HON. THOMAS H. KEAN, JR.

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 11, 2023

  Mr. KEAN of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 60th 
Wedding Anniversary for Hopatcong Borough Mayor Mike Francis and his 
wife, Sandy Francis.
  Mike and Sandy Francis married on June 20th, 1963. They met at 
Watchung Hills High School in Warren, New Jersey. Their lockers were 
next to each other as freshmen, although they didn't start dating until 
their senior year. They moved to Hopatcong in 1973 and are the proud 
parents of three children and eight grandchildren.
  Mike and Sandy have been an integral part of the Hopatcong community 
throughout the last fifty years, including many years of public 
service. Mike has served as a member of the Hopatcong Borough Council 
since 2008, and as Mayor of Hopatcong since 2016. Mike also serves on 
the Sussex County Planning Board and the New Jersey Highlands Council.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in congratulating Mike and Sandy 
Francis for their 60 years of matrimony and for their many years of 
service to the Hopatcong community.
