"A few years ago we all got together in Dallas and I met "Frino". I remember dapper Italian man with a twinkle in his eye, in the kitchen making his favorite Italian sausage, and worrying that he had enough fennel. And remembering how good that sausage was! I love sausage and this was the best. He was a master!"
In loving memory of
Fiorino Sellari
March 22, 1927 - August 26, 2016
Fiorino Sellari was born in Supino, Italy on March 22, 1927 and he went home to be with God at the age of 89 on August 26, 2016 following complications that resulted from surgery to correct a hip fracture that occurred during a fall at his home in Dania Beach, FL.
For most of his life, Fiorino resided in Aliquippa, PA where he was employed by J&L Steel Corporation and The Aliquippa School System. Fiorino proudly served and received an honorable discharge from the United States Navy. He worshiped regularly at the Catholic Church, he was an avid sports fan and played golf as often as possible. Later in life, Fiorino re-located to Dania Beach, FL where he resided until his death.
Fiorino, the oldest of five siblings was deeply committed to his Father, Giuseppi, his mother Luisa and his younger brothers and sisters, Marie, Albert, Anthony and Flora. Fiorino and Doris (his wife of 67 years) raised 2 children - Linda and Robert (Bobby) who both now reside in the Fort Lauderdale, FL area.
Fiorino is survived by his wife Doris (Cerilli) Sellari, his daughter and son-in-law, Linda Taibl and Richard Allen, his son and daughter-in-law, Robert and Bonnie Sellari, his brothers Albert and Anthony Sellari, his sister Flora Feltenberg and numerous nieces and nephews who loved him very much.
