Our hearts are broken at the sudden passing of our beloved Remigio Morelli. He was born in the city of Capannori, Lucca, Tuscany region of Northern Italy to Emma and Vasco Morelli and grew up there. He came to Stockton, California at age 26 where he met and married the love of his life, Jane Broussard. He attended Delta College to learn English and the trade of auto body repair. He was an extremely hard working man all of his life. He retired from American Forest Products and Millworks after thirty-five years and also worked a second job at his own auto body repair shop. Remigio was completely dedicated to his family. He was a very kind, humble, generous, and gentle man who was always concerned about others. He was and is loved very much.
