JOHN LATORRACA
Retired mechanic John Latorraca of San Rafael died in a local hospital Saturday after a short illness. He was 81.
Latorraca was born in Italy and came to the United States as a young man.
He settled in Los Banos, where he was a ranch worker, before moving to Richmond, where he worked for many years as a self-employed mechanic.
He moved to Marin in 1967 and retired shortly after.
Latorraca was a member of the Galileo Club of Richmond.
He is survived by a daughter, Meyna Armanini of San Rafael and two grandchildren. His wife of 48 years, Emma Latorraca, died nine years ago.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Tuesday at 10 a.m. at Blessed Sacrament Church in Santa Venicia. The rosary will be recited Monday at 8 p.m. at Keaton’s Mortuary in San Rafael. Burial will be at Mount Olivet Cemetery in San Rafael.
The family prefers memorial contributions to a favorite charity.
