It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Franco, at the age of 80. Loving husband of 54 years to Noella (nee Meret). Cherished and devoted father to Carla Guarasci, husband Sam and the late Sandro (1982). Proud Nonno of Frank, Miranda, Selena and Felicia. Predeceased by his parents Alessandro and Vittoria and in-laws Antonio and Iolanda Meret. Brother of Elisa Piasentin (2019), husband Remo Nadalin and Guido Piasentin, wife Marilena. Dear Brother-in-law of Anna Campanotto, husband Valter (2000), Sandra Jones (2019) and Jim Sheridan, and Franco Meret, wife Florinda. He will be remembered by many nieces and nephews in Canada and Italy. Franco worked for Kelsey Hayes for 23 years, then the Fogolar Furlan Club until his retirement. He was a member of the Fogolar Furlan Club and the Alpini and an avid Inter fan. He will be deeply missed by many relatives and friends, especially the Zanotti family, Pecile family and Alex Piasentin and family. He will always be remembered for his cheerful personality, his infectious laugh and his famous “whistle”.
