Paul Francis D’Anneo

November 24, 1933 - July 20, 2017

Paul Francis D’Anneo passed peacefully in Carson City, NV, surrounded by his family, on July 20, 2017. Paul was born in Oakland, CA on November 24, 1933 to Arnaldo and Ruth (Dobbins) D’Anneo. He attended Cal Poly and worked as an electronics engineer.

Paul is survived by Barbara, his wife of 60+ years, daughters Ruth D’Anneo Rich (John) of South Lake Tahoe, and Andrea D ‘Anneo Ardzrooni (Paul) of Elk, CA.; grandchildren Jack and Will Rich, Genevieve Parrett, and Gregory Ardzrooni; brother, Andrew D’Anneo; sister, Francesca D’Anneo; several cousins, nine nieces and nephews, many “adopted” sons and daughters, and a bevy of dogs.

Remembered as a kind, loving, talented, charming, generous, and unassuming man, Paul was an all-around wonderful human being, a proud patriarch, and an excellent example of one who has lived many lives in one lifetime, all to their fullest. He leaves a wonderful legacy of success in his chosen profession and of building a life and home with his wife, children, and grandchildren, highlighted by many happy times, teachable moments, and unwavering love of his bride.

Two services are planned. A service will take place at 10am at St. Francis of the Mountains Chapel at Fallen Leaf Lake, on August 19th. A second service will take place in Carson City, at 11am, on September 9th, at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Humane Society.
