Where it started

Some things are too good to keep to yourself

Francis Pass has always been a great storyteller. That’s because he has a lot of great stories to tell.

A few years back, some friends suggested that he write some of these magnificent stories down so they could be shared with others.

So he did.

Thus, the Pass It On was born.

This website is home of Francis’s tales of faith, hard work, determination, and sacrifice. Memories are shared, veterans are remembered, lessons are learned, and a lot of special people get their due.

Pass It On celebrates the little moments in our lives that are worth talking about.

These stories won’t change the world. But we just hope they add a little bit of inspiration and motivation to get you through your day.

Be Well. Stay Well. Thanks for readin’.

What we hope this becomes

We are not trying to create another place filled with bad news, arguments, and people yelling at strangers they have never met.

The internet has plenty of those.

We would rather make a little room for something else.

A veteran who deserves a thank-you.

A coach who stayed late.

A neighbor who quietly helped.

A group filling a truck with donations.

A story that reminds you there are still a lot of good people doing good things around here.

If Pass It On can help one of those stories travel a little farther, we figure that is a pretty good use of a website.

"Francis Pass is on my Mt. Rushmore of storytellers... Some stories were short, others tall, and all were meaningful."

And yes, there is a pass behind Pass It On

Pass It On grew out of the Pass family and the values that have shaped Pass One Hour Heating & Air for generations.

So you will see some familiar faces, a little familiar yellow and probably a Pass truck every now and then.

But this is not another place to sell furnaces.


It is a place to share something the Pass family cares about just as much: taking care of the people around you.

Now It is Your Turn

Good does not belong to one family, one company, or one town.

So if you know a veteran we ought to thank, a person doing something worth noticing, or a story that deserves a little more room to travel, send it our way.

We will do our best to help pass it on.
