The reclamation of a holy person’s life extends the theological purposes of the

provided him with the tools and the family support that he needed on his journey.”1 So,
in this hagiography, I am basically talking about how Ron Franz impacted Supertramp’s
life by offering him help in his journey. He was essentially a father figure to him and a
and he gave him the necessary tools and support that he needed to finish his journey.
He was like a lost traveler wandering the earth before he met Ron. After he met Ron, he

actually the last time they shared. At this point in their interactions, they have built a
