He obtained his funeral director's license in 1968, one day after his birthday, the same year I was born. Fifty-eight years is a considerable amount of time to dedicate to a profession, but he thoroughly enjoyed every moment, assisting families and friends during difficult times. For him, it was not merely a job, but an integral part of his being. He worked alongside his father until 1972, when Florian passed away unexpectedly. Fortunately, he had the support of his brother, Jim, and sister, Elaine, to help the family business continue to thrive and evolve into what it is today. We love you dad.
