December 22nd, 2007 . by Mike KellyBelow you’ll find the obituary for my Friend’s son; Benjamin Herbert Floriani. His Father, Don Floriani, is our incoming Sunrise Rotary Club President. His Son Ben was tragically killed in a “wrong place at the wrong time” event which belied young Ben’s remarkable turn-around and on-track life. If you would like to contribute to a Scholarship Fund which will help a young person get and stay on track, please read below and contribute to our Rotary Club’s Scholarship program in his name.
FLORIANI, Benjamin Herbert - “Pride and Poise”. A son, a brother, and a friend has left us physically but will remain in spirit forever. Ben was born on August 6, 1986 and left this world on December 15, 2007. Ben is survived by his parents, Don and Wendy Floriani; his brothers Matthew and Alec; and his dog Sonny. Ben has touched many lives including family, friends, and loved ones. Ben will be deeply missed by all that were fortunate enough to know him. The family invites the community to join together to celebrate Ben’s life on Saturday, December 22, 2007, at 12:00p.m. at the Sebastopol Community Center, 390 Morris Street. In lieu of flowers, a scholarship fund in Ben’s name has been established.
