Frank Signorelli Obituary
1936 - 2025
It is with deep sorrow and respect that we announce the passing of Frank Mario Signorelli, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and lifelong resident of Lompoc. Frank passed away peacefully on October 3rd, 2025 in his hometown at the age of 88.
Born on October 24, 1936 in Lompoc, Frank was a cornerstone of this community. He graduated Lompoc high in 1954 and soon after joined the Carpenter's Union #1062 in Santa Barbara. After completing his apprenticeship, he joined the U.S. Army Reserve, serving six years in total before resuming his career in construction.
In 1961, he met his future wife and mother to his three sons, Emily Masciotra. It was a full year before Frank was able to take Emily on their first date, a Dodger baseball game. From then on they were inseparable. They married in 1963, began a construction business and built many homes, multi-family projects and commercial buildings in Lompoc. In 1992, Emily was stricken with breast cancer. Frank closed his construction business and cared for Emily during this time. He comforted her when she was afraid and held her as she passed.
Frank dedicated his whole life to his family, his church and the community. He dearly loved his three sons, Charles (Cheryl), Chris (Cristina) and Chad (Sara). Every Christmas and Thanksgiving was at Frank's house, with his 8 grandchildren, Anthony, Ryan, Kodi (Serena), Natalia, Emily, Cade, Francesca, and Giovanna, and great-grandchildren growing before his eyes.
Frank served on several local non profit and charitable programs and boards in Lompoc, including the Lompoc Museum Board of Directors, Lompoc Valley Club, Lompoc Valley Contractors Association, Lompoc Library Foundation, Lompoc Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, and the Lompoc Hospital Board of Directors for an incredible 41 years, most of them as President.
Taking care of others is a value Frank deeply held and lived by, one that Lompoc will benefit from for years to come. He was a role model to his family, and will be sorely missed.
Frank did not wish for flowers. Instead he asked that any donations be made to the Lompoc Hospital Foundation, La Purisima Catholic Church, or a charity of your choice.
The family wishes to express heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated staff at Fountain Square of Lompoc and the Comprehensive Care Center for the compassionate and professional care Frank received in his final years.

I’m fortunate to have known Frank for many years. Not only for his many dedicated years supporting this community, and my landlord, but mostly for his kind and authentic nature. Sending condolences to his family.

I am so sad to learn of Frank's passing. His many friends will greatly miss him. We were close to the Lompoc Signorelli families for many years, and Frank was a steady family friend and supporter to my parents, Axel and Lillian Jansson. He worked for them for many years and It seems like everything we did included him at some point. Also,Frank and Emily were married the same day as we were on May 11, 1963. My Mom and Dad could only attend our wedding!
May God hold you in his hands and bless you with his love.
I'm happy to know he is now with Emily, his only love.
We will miss you greatly, Frank, and we thank you for your
great smile, love and friendship for so many years.

Frank was a close friend and Mentor. Together we worked to establish the Ventura -Santa Barbara District Council of the Italian Catholic Federation. We attending many annual meetings of the Italian Catholic Federation througout California Cities.
Frank Mario Signorelli was elected to the Central Council of the Italian Catholic Feration and earned to be honary member of the Central Council for life.
I was honored to be his best-man for marriage to Emily Masciotra and God-Father to their first son, Charles Signorelli.
Frank, Emily and Charles participated in my marriage to Maria in 1970.
Frank was a true family man. He loved and served his Country. And above all served his home town, Lompoc with love, patience and hard work!
His legacy will live on for many years.
When he knocked on the door of Saint Peter on October 3, 2025 Saint Peter welcomed Frank Mario Signorelli with open arms welcoming him to Heaven to be with his dear wife, Emily and his son, Christopher Signorelli!
Frank, Rest in Peace ! Your long time friend, Anthony Dal Bello

I met Frank in 1970 while he was rebuilding our first home in Lompoc. We have always maintained a great relationship both while working together and as La Purisima Catholic Church friends. He was always more than fair, honest and most of all respectful. Many other persons have left us during these past 55 years, however, Frank will definitely be one of Lompoc's most missed persons. He and Emily were awesome supporters of our (His) city. May they both rest in peace in the loving arms of our Lord.

My sincerest condolences to you three boys and families of Frank & Emily. He was always proud to have you with him in his life. I remember Frank as a gentleman amongst gentelmen always honest and to the point in our business dealings but at the same time respectiful. When he built the medical complex on east ocean ave. we had a trust in each other not seen much anymore. When asked for my bid price i would write it on a piece of paper ( no long worded contract ) , hand it to him and we would shake hands to seal the contract, that was the biggest sign of trust and respect we could share. R.I.P. old friend.

Lompoc has lost a true pillar of and friend of the community. His 41 years of service on the Lompoc Hospital Board resulted in tremendous positive results for the Lompoc Valley. Our family was privileged to be a close friend of Frank Signorelli, a generous, kind individual. We spent some two plus decades of post-Mass (La Purisima) breakfasts talking the latest news, sports, about our families and generally solving all the problems of the world and area (LOL !!). Our breakfast group is pretty much gone now but the fond memories of our time together will live forever. Rest well my friend, you have run the race, you have kept the faith.

Frank and Emily were our first landlord in Lompoc back in 1984. They took a chance on a young couple just starting out and were such lovely people. I will never forget their kindness. My condolences to the family.

I didn't really get to know Mr Signorelli personally but being that I was born and raised in Lompoc, I have utmost respect for this man. He was one of the true pillars of this community and he raised his children with that thought.
May you rest in peace and be given the highest honor known to those who cross the threshold of heaven.
Thank you!
RIP MR FRANK SIGNORELLI

In loving memory of a wonderful person. Frank was always thinking of others. He gave so much to this community, especially the healthcare community. Our healthcare community is so much better because of his untiring efforts. We are so fortunate because of Frank. He dedicated so much of himself toward this end. We will miss you, Frank.
