For those of you who knew him, longtime Boulder-area tennis player, Francois Bellouin, died February 17, 2022 from complications due to a stroke. Many of us who have played Boulder tennis over the years will have faced him across the net. Francois was active in the local tennis community, working with the BTA board, as well as playing league tennis, ladder matches, and the occasional tournament.

Upon retirement from his career as a butcher at King Soopers, Francois moved to Talent, Oregon, and most recently to Ashland, Oregon, where he passed. He is survived by his three children: Benjamin, Andrew and Ashley.
