Paul Bargetzi Obituary
The beloved husband of Diane Bargetzi; devoted father of Paul A. (Gwen) Bargetzi, Yvonne (Evert) Fernandez and Andrea (Steven) Willis, and step-father of Robert (Bobbie) Di Stefano and Gina Coppock (Tim Alexander). He was the adored grandpa of Simone Fernandez, Jessica Willis, Adriana Fernandez, Ryan Willis and Jesse Coppock. Paul was preceded in death by his first wife, Virginia.
A native of Switzerland and resident of Santa Rosa since 1956, Paul could make people laugh in six languages. Seven if you included yodeling. He came to the USA in 1947 and lived in Chicago until moving to Santa Rosa in 1956. One of the first dozen employees of Optical Coating Laboratory, Inc (OCLI), Paul retired in 1990 as a Senior Coating Technician. Paul spent retirement doing the things he loved most – camping with family, golfing with friends, dancing with his wife, gardening and most importantly, being the happy spirit of any gathering.
Friends and family are invited to a Chapel Liturgy Service on Friday, December 20, 2019 at 10:00 AM at Lafferty & Smith Colonial Chapel (4321 Sonoma Highway, Santa Rosa, CA, 95409). Burial will be private.
As an expression of sympathy, the family suggests donations to Heartland Hospice (3700 Old Redwood Highway, Suite 103, Santa Rosa, CA 95403, who were such a blessing during Paul’s final weeks.

What a joy Paul and Diane have been in our lives. Meeting in Europe cruising down the river, listening to Paul yodel, joyful glasses of beer, and an endearing friendship that continued through the years. We will always have fond memories of Paul. Blessings to the family.
