“Franco’s proudest accomplishments were his family and his restaurant — both testaments to his hard work, devotion, and heart,” his obituary said. “Though Franco’s earthly journey has come to an end, his spirit remains ever-present — in every shared meal, every laugh, and every story told in his memory. The flavors he created, the love he gave, and the joy he brought will continue to nourish the hearts of those he touched.”
Visitation will be on Nov. 1 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Sulphur Grove Church on Taylorsville Road in Huber Heights.
A celebration of life will follow at 5 p.m.
