Florian was known to have a big heart who loved to talk to everyone. He enjoyed a good conversation, had a positive attitude, and liked to cheer people up. He liked to keep up to date on current affairs and was known to tell it the way it is. He loved to fish and loved his life long white 1979 Toyota truck. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus.
In 2013, several years after the death of Priscilla, Florian "got the good vibrations" for Diana Smeija, and offered her a ring. The two were together ever since.
