Franco Floreani, age 89, passed away on February 19th, 2025, at Froedtert South in Pleasant Prairie, WI.
He was born in Rome, Italy. In 1962, he married the love of his life in Ontario, Canada and immigrated to the United States in 1963. He lived many happy years in Chicago, Northern Illinois, Kenosha, and Bristol, Wisconsin. He worked at Falcon Bridge Nickel Mines for several years. Then he worked as a welder for Valve and Primer and Savage Brothers Co. before retiring in 2005 to be a grandpa and spend time with his family. He loved his family very much and always enjoyed spending time with them at every opportunity. He was a creative soul, loved photography, and painting anything nature related, as he always found peace being outdoors. He loved his gardens, taking care of his tomato plants, apple trees, and peach trees. He was known by many as being a kind and helpful person to those who needed it and was a great friend to many.
He is survived by his wife of over 62 years, his 3 loving sons, 8 beautiful grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild. He was preceded in death by his mother.
The family would like to thank the Bristol Fire and Rescue department, Kenosha County Sherrif’s Department, the staff and transportation services at Froedtert South, St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church and Father Bob from St. Anne’s Catholic Church. Also, thank you to Waterford Police Department for the beautiful flowers they sent.
Burial services will be held at All Saints Catholic Cemetery on February 25, 2025 with Catholic Committal prayers to conclude.
