      Lt. Col. Francis C. Cornish, Ret. Francis "Frank" Cornish, 93, beloved father, grandfather, uncle and friend, passed away on 01/12/2010 in his home. He was a proud American who served for many years as a pilot in the United States Air Force. He enjoyed spending time with his family and his friends. In the last few years, one of his greatest pleasures was going to his favorite donut shop, Cafe Du Soleil in Cypress, as his morning routine six days a week. Each morning he was greeted by Sina, the owner, and many a friend. His dearest friend, Ben, and many others were always there to share a story or two. We love you Pop! We love you Frank! Your legacy of goodness, love and kindness will forever be in our hearts.
