As Franco departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Franco may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Franco leaves behind.

He is survived by: his wife Dina; his daughters, Cristina (Matthew Poropat) and Elisa (Francesco Colella); his mother Rose; his brother Johnny (Stacey); and his father Emilio.
