So sorry hearing the passing of Fran “Cil’s” Ciliberti . Cil’s was a pleasure to watch on the court, and a even better person off. He was the true meaning of a gentleman.
Rest In Peace my Friend.

Franny was “one of the crew” at Ithaca and will be sorely missed. I lived with him one summer at Ithaca and still remember those times. My thoughts and prayers go out to his surviving family.
My sympathies.
