Vito Lograsso

Vito was born and raised in Little Italy. He went to Washington Elementary, Roosevelt Junior High School and San Diego High School.

Vito and Lucia, his loving wife of 55 years, grew up together in Little Italy. Both families were commercial fishermen. Vito fished on the family boat, the Venezia, then had a stint in the U.S. Army. When he came back home he joined the family business again. Vito married Lucia in 1962 and together they raised their three children: LuAnn (Jason), Rosie (Rick) and Lawrence. Over time, their family has grown to include four grandchildren: Vito, Sadie, Isabella and Gianna. His children and grandchildren were the love of his life.

Vito and his brother Pete went on to partner on the fishing vessel the Lu Marie and later the Nancy. His son Lawrence fished alongside him for 25 years. Vito fished over 65 years. He loved to cook, garden, make puzzles, play cards and games with his grandchildren. He loved to watch many sports and old western movies.

Vito died peacefully on February 6, with all of his family surrounding him at his bedside.
