The Senate of the State of Rhode Island has introduced a resolution expressing its deep condolences on the passing of Florian L. "Flo" Bourget, a resident of Woonsocket and devoted husband to Suzanne Bourget for over 47 years. Born in Woonsocket to Armand and Cecile Bourget, Florian had a distinguished career, including significant contributions to NASA at the John F. Kennedy Space Center, where he was involved in the space shuttle program. After returning to Rhode Island in 1986, he worked in various roles, including positions at Garelick Farms and Woonsocket City Hall, while also being an active member of his community and church.

Florian was known for his dedication to family and community service, participating in church ministries and local events such as the Autumnfest. He is survived by his wife, children, grandchildren, and many other family members. The resolution concludes with a directive for the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to Suzanne Bourget and her family, honoring Florian's memory and contributions to his community.
