Joseph Mario Viglizzo died peacefully in his home on March 14, 2020 at the age of 89. Joe was born on March 16,1930 and lived all his life in his family home in North Beach, San Francisco. He is preceded by his parents, Rosa and Giuseppe Viglizzo and his siblings Louis Viglizzo, Inez Viglizzo-Sexton, Guido Viglizzo and sister-in-law Margaret Viglizzo.
Joe grew up in San Francisco as the youngest child in the family home where his parents tended the Viglizzo family store on Stockton street in the 1930’s. He attended Sacred Heart High School and then he went on to attend UC Berkeley focusing on a major in chemical engineering. He was also a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society and served as a lieutenant in the US Army.
Joe loved cars all his life, and working on them, especially his prized Ford Mustang, and he also enjoyed repairing all sorts of electronics. Everyone who knew him enjoyed his wry sense of humor and will crack a smile when thinking of his favorite saying “oh my god”. We will always carry a piece of him in our hearts.
