Florencio Aros Sinogui Jr.

Florencio A. Sinogui Jr., born on October 17, 1941, to Florencio and Margaret Sinogui in Phoenix, Arizona, passed away suddenly on July 6, 2024, surrounded by his five daughters, granddaughters, grandsons, great-granddaughters, great-grandsons, and niece’s.

Florencio attended Edison High School, was married to the love of his life for 30 years before her passing in 1993. He never remarried, but instead stepped up after her passing to help his daughters raise their families. He was close to his son-in-law’s and treated them like they were his sons, they respected and loved him very much. He spoke to his granddaughter and great granddaughters in Wisconsin every morning. In 1999 he and his oldest grandson flew out to Kalamazoo, Michigan for his two oldest granddaughters Softball World of Series…they took the train home. He spent the last 31 years with his grandchildren and felt lucky to watch his great-grandchildren grow and have conversations with them.

He worked for Stockton Unified School District for 30 years, retiring as a warehouse worker. He was the California School Employee Association (CSEA) President in the early eighties. In his early years, he enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping with his family, going to "Earl's" place, boxing, and attending horse races.
