Florian spent 51 years as a missionary in Nicaragua. Immediately after he completed his seminary training, he was sent to the Bluefields Mission and, over the years, served at Rama, Puerto Cabezas, and Managua. He also served the Mission as superior regular and joined the Vice Province of Central America and Panama.

When Florian returned from the Mission, he was formally re-instated as a member of the Province of St. Joseph and lived at St. Anthony's in Marathon. He later moved to Appleton where he passed away, aged 82, after 62 years of religious life.

Florian had a gentle presence which was deeply felt by others. He searched out those who were experiencing difficulties or were hurting, and had a way of encouraging them that was special. He made a difference in the lives of those he touched. He believed in the power of the Holy Spirit. Long before it was popular, Florian believed in the laity and in the role of lay people in the Church, shared the Bible, developed base Christian communities, and the ideals of fraternity over those of ministry.

Florian is buried at Mt. Calvary.
