“Loss and grief often defy words. Some life events are truly incomprehensible. Although we know our time on earth is limited, a jolt like your passing forces us to reflect more deeply on life and the time we have left.
To my dearest Francis, my fellow thespian, fellow Crabite, and fellow Uniportian: You were a delight to watch on stage and on screen. You taught art effortlessly, without even realising that you were teaching it. Sharing the stage and screen with you was an absolute joy.
This is heartbreaking, but God knows best.
Shine on in heaven with your artistic talent until we meet again, never to part. Rest in perfect peace. Adieu.
— Veteran actress Rita Dominic pays tribute to her late colleague, Francis Duru.
