Sincere condolences to the Malisani family for their loss. We knew Frank since he worked with Umberto our brother in law, as well Giacomo worked with him.
We pray that he is in a better place. May he rest in peace.
Assunta and Giacomo Giust.
Thank you very much for your kind words. They mean so much to our family.
So sorry to hear of the passing of Franco, our hearts are sad. I remember when I first met Franco and Giovanna they both made me feel so very comfortable an English girl, who could not speak or understand a word of Italian. Both welcomed me to the family with their wonderful smiles and strong hugs.
Family meant the world to Franco, and he often spoke of the Morassutti’s, with affection. Thank you for your kind words.
Franco was an amazing, hardworking man who taught us so much over the years. He had an incredible knowledge of construction and was always willing to share the tricks of the trade he had learned throughout his life. He taught me personally so many things about construction and was always a great help to our family farm.
We shared so many funny and memorable working days with Franco. There were many times we found ourselves chasing after him when he was determined to do work that even a teenager would think twice about doing, or trying to stop him from climbing ladders to get onto the roof. There was simply no slowing him down. No matter his age, Franco always wanted to be right there working alongside everyone else.
Those are the moments that make us smile when we think of him. His incredible work ethic, determination, knowledge, humour, and willingness to help will never be forgotten. We are so grateful for everything Franco taught us and, most importantly, for all the wonderful memories we were lucky enough to share with him at the farm
Your family farm was his second home and we also have so many stories of his time there! Thank you for your lovely words, they are deeply appreciated.
Our deepest condolences to you and your family on your Dad’s passing. May he rest in eternal peace.
Thank you for your kind words.
Nel ricordo di una persona speciale come era lo zio, tutti i suoi nipoti dall’Italia vi sono vicini in questo momento doloroso e vi abbracciano con affetto.
Thank you so much for your kinds words. He will be greatly missed.
Our family sends our condolences on the passing of Franco. May your special memories help you get through this very difficult time. Our thoughts are with you.
Your kind words give us great comfort. Thank you.
