Florian married Hildegarde C Bzdawka (b. August 15, 1921) on February 19, 1944. Florian served in World War II, and while on duty, send Hildegarde a telegram; all it said was: "Will you marry me?"
Hildegarde said yes, and Florian had to get permission to take a leave and come home to get married.

Thomas, born September 23, 1946
Joseph and John, born December 30, 1948
