On Monday, May 25, 2020, after a long and productive life, at the age of 95 years, Franco rejoined his loved Fiorella in Heaven. A talented man with a sharp mind and former University Professor of Agriculture in his native Italian land, he loved farming, cars, motors, engineering, and any task that was challenging. Franco was simple, sensible, and extremely witty. He will be lovingly remembered by his three children Simonetta (Giovanni), Paola (Rodolfo) and Alberto (Linda); grandsons Julio, Fabrizio, Matteo, Jordan and Marco; and greatgrandchildren Letizia, Valentina and Nicoló. Donations in memory of Franco may be made to Muscular Dystrophy Canada, 204 – 825 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, MB R3A 1M5.
