Franco Orsucci, age 71, of Commerce Township, passed peacefully at home on June 6, 2020 after a year long battle with a chronic disease. Born on October 12, 1948 in a small town in northern Italy, he immigrated to Detroit when he was a child. He was a hard worker and deeply committed family man. Franco was quite the character taking his nationality seriously but always having a great sense of humor and infectious laugh. There was nothing that he wouldn’t do for his family and those that were close to him. To say he will be deeply missed is an understatement.
Beloved husband of Mary for 37 years. Loving father of Nicole (Zac) Muir and Cristina (John) Stritmatter. Proud grandfather of Brody, Brayden, Briella, Brecklyn and Cora. Dear brother of Grace (Berto) Nesti and Sandro (Dale) Orsucci. Cherished uncle of many. Franco was preceded in passing by his parents, Rino (2005) and Teresina (2015) Orsucci.
A celebration of life will be held at 11:00 am (10:00 am in state at church) on Saturday, June, 20, 2020 at St. Patrick Catholic Church, 9086 Hutchins Road, White Lake, Michigan 48386. To honor his memory until then, the next time you have a shot of whiskey, an Italian sandwich or a cannoli offer a “Salute” to Franco Orsucci.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the American Diabetes Association.
