Grant ‘Frenchy’ Leroy Flouro

Grant ‘Frenchy’ Leroy Flouro, passed away peace­fully at Eden Mead­ows on Sun­day, Nov. 19, 2023, with his fam­ily by his side.
Grant was born on Jan­u­ary 1, 1926, (the same birth­date as his mom) in the Town­ship of Clyman to Louie and Lil­lie (Rash) Flouro.
Grant farmed with his dad for many years until he met his wife, Manette Heller. They mar­ried on Oc­to­ber 25, 1947, at St. Stephen Lutheran Church in Hori­con. They resided in Hori­con for many years until they moved up to Rome, on the lake where they had a lake home for many years.
Grant was al­ways con­ser­v­a­tive with his money, so when the taxes on the lake home went up, they de­cided to build a new house off the lake when they were in their 70s and that is where they re­mained until his pass­ing. Grant loved being out­side, es­pe­cially when it was hot and humid. For any­one that knew him, he al­ways had a metic­u­lous lawn, as he was con­stantly out­side tend­ing to it on his John Deere trac­tor. He took metic­u­lous care of his prop­erty, even saw­ing down trees in his later years.
Grant also loved the game of Sheepshead and loved teach­ing the game to his kids and grand­kids. He cer­tainly didn’t have any reser­va­tions about beat­ing the pants off them as he al­ways said that was the best way to learn the game.
Grant worked at John Deere Hori­con Works for 37 years, until he re­tired on Oc­to­ber 31, 1984. God blessed him with 39 years of re­tire­ment.
Grant is sur­vived and will be greatly missed by his wife of 76 years, Manette; two sons, Allan (Guadalupe) Flouro of Fond du Lac and Dou­glas (Diane) Flouro of Oshkosh; five grand­chil­dren, Brian Flouro, Melissa Flouro, De­siree Flouro, Danielle Flouro, and Dei­dra Flouro; six great-grand­chil­dren, Cameron Flouro, Casey Flouro, Bri­ana Flouro-Smith, Anita Mo­linero-Flouro, De­vona Mo­linero-Flouro, and Myra Mo­linero-Flouro; and his nieces and nephews.
Grant was pre­ceded in death by his mom and dad, Louis and Lilly Flouro; one son, Rick Flouro; one brother, Ed­ward Flouro; and two sis­ters, Edith Flouro (in­fant) and Leta (Eu­gene) Belling; fa­ther and mother-in-law, Emil and Mary Heller; sis­ter and brother-in-law, Brid­gette and Mar­vin Heller.
Ser­vices will be held at Good Shep­herd Lutheran Church in Oshkosh on Mon­day, Nov. 27.
