To my Brother in Law and dear friend that I knew most of his life.
Kiki was born in France and came to America as a very young man.
He did not speak the language nor could he drive a car; but he quickly learned how to do both!
His insatiable determination to succeed in his new homeland quickly became self evident, through his positive attitude, and hard work ethics. I never once heard him use the term “I can’t do it!"
Kiki became a well know figure in his Florida community as “Frenchie” the paint contractor;
a successful enterprise that he owned and operated for over fifty years. He was a generous and
thoughtful father and loved his family above all! They did indeed throw the mold away when
Kiki was born; he was definitely one of a kind. Christian was admired by many and loved dearly by his family.
He will be forever missed by those of us, who really knew and loved him.
