Fred Lagorio 
Oct. 21, 1917 - March 9, 2005



Fred Lagorio, 87, passed away Wednesday, March 9, 2005 in Stockton, CA.
He was the beloved husband of Frances Lagorio of Stockton. Devoted father of 
Lynne Lagorio of Stockton and the late Greg Lagorio. Loving step-father of 
Michael Bergman and wife, Ilona of Auburn and William Bergman and wife Sharla 
of Stockton. Dear grandfather of Michael R. Bergman, Lori Lima Dworkin, Jeffrey 
Bergman, Lisa Klapow, Steven Bergman, Lane Aldridge, Wendi Wilson, Nolita 
Matuschka and great-grandfather of Lyndsy Fonseca, Hanna Dworkin, Hailee

Brother of Raymond Lagorio and wife, Dorothy, Evelyn Giannini and husband, 
John, Irene DeWitt all of Stockton and Eva Cavalli of Linden. Also survived by 
numerous nieces and nephews.
Fred was born, raised, and educated in Stockton. Upon his honorable discharge 
from the U. S. Coast Guard, he began to search for a rewarding career. His love 
for helping people and serving the public made him decide on a banking career, 
and shortly thereafter started at Wells Fargo Bank. Fred was appointed Vice 
President at the Miracle Mile Branch and retired after 44 years of service. He 
was an avid golfer and was nicknamed "Skinny" by his golfing partners of many 
years. His love for the game continued well into his eighties. Mr. Lagorio was 
a member and past president of the Thornton Branch Chamber of Commerce and a 
member of the Elks, BPOE 218. Upon retiring from the bank, his new adventure as 
the gardener with the Italian green thumb evolved. His love for the outdoors 
became evident as his flowers bloomed and his vegetable garden was abundant. 
Within a few months of retiring he received a second nickname as the "Walker on 
Thornton Rd". 
Fred, you are my love, my friend and my partner. Our forty-five years just flew 
by. Dad, you are my hero and showed your daughter the true meaning of 
unconditional love and true perseverance.
Father, you were there when we needed a guiding hand and never gave up on your 
sons. We all love you and we will miss you.
