Armond Suacci Obituary
September 17, 1922 - June 16, 2015
Armond Suacci, a third-generation San Franciscan born and reared in North Beach, passed away peacefully at UCSF Hospital on June 16, 2015. He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Mary, and his brother, John, Jr. Armond attended Galileo High School, was an amateur boxer in his youth and served proudly in the U. S. Marine Corps in World War II. He and his family spent many happy summers in Forest Knolls (Marin County) in a bungalow his father built.Armond looked back with pride on his long career in retail with Robert Kirk, Ltd., a prominent San Francisco men's clothing store, where he began as a stock boy and finished as its president. Wearing a Southwick suit, hat and topcoat as he walked briskly down Post Street, he enjoyed a well-earned reputation for being smartly dressed.
There were two important seasons in Armond's life: duck season and deer season. An avid hunter his entire life, the West - from Pt. Reyes, CA to Arizona, Nevada and Montana - was his hunting ground. A favorite destination was the CA Ranch near Bozeman where he would visit his good friends, the Anderson family. His annual trip to Mexico to hunt ducks with his son, Edward, was the highlight of each year. Armond was in his element sitting in a blind at the Sunrise Duck Club with Twinkie and Tess, his black Labrador retrievers, by his side.
Armond is survived by his wife of 68 years, Stephanie Alioto Suacci, his sons Edward (Susan) and Stephen, and granddaughter, Laura Newport. Surviving him also are his sisters-in-law, Antoinette Canepa, Anna Capurro and Gloria Alioto. He will be missed by his 106-year old aunt, Etta Soldavini, his nephew, John D. Suacci (Cathy) and his niece, Patricia Warnock (Kirk), as well as many other nephews, nieces, and cousins in his large, extended family. Armond was a loyal husband and loving father.
A memorial Mass will be held Monday, June 22, 2015 at 10:30am at Saints Peter and Paul Church, 666 Filbert Street, San Francisco. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Salesian Boys' and Girls' Club, 680 Filbert Street, San Francisco, CA 94133.

Memories and Condolences

Dear Stephanie and Family
I am so sad to read about Armond's passing. I worked at Robert Kirk, Ltd from 1965 until 1971 and was Armond, Mr. Underhill and Mr. Nicholas' secretary in my latter years. Armond was very kind to me and was a boss who treated his employees with respect and compassion. I remember when I worked in the credit department and they offered me the job once I finisihed business school. I told him there are a couple of things I don't do and that is dial a phone for him and fetch coffee. He looked at me and said, "You're hired!" I have many fond memories and he will be missed by all who knew him. Please accept my condolences. Lynn Kalajian McCloskey

Dear Stephanie, Ed and Stephen,
I was saddened to hear of Armond's passing. He was a special part of our lives during the years he was at Cable Car Clothiers/Robert Kirk, Ltd. My father, Charles, was very fond of him and spoke of him often in his later years. Personally, he was kind, patient, wise, knowledgeable and certainly taught me so much about the retail field. I will always treasure the memories of our buying trips to England and New York. He was a wonderful and unforgettable person.

Dear Stephanie, Ed and Stephen,
I just learned today about Armond's passing. I have so many fond memories of knowing him during the time he spend at Cable Car Clothiers/Robert Kirk, Ltd.
Yes, he was an impeccable dresser, but he was a man
of wisdom as well, and I learned so much from him.
I was so touched when he called me after my Dad's passing last August. I will always remember our wonderful buying trips to England and New York. Armond was a kind. wise and lovely man. The Pivnick
family (Janice, Barri and especially Charles) were very
fond of him. My sincere condolences to you.

Dear Stephanie,
I was so saddened to read Armond has passed away. I never read the obits and when I saw it , it was a week old. My father so loved Armond and I remember the good time they used to have with the old gang up at their duck club. My condolences to you and your boys.

Dearest Stephanie Edward and Stephen,
My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. Armond was a special favorite of my cousins. As my Dad Nunzio would say " He was a prince of a man." My exact sentiments I was on vacation with my family and was so saddened when I found out today. Again I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. I love you all!

Hi Steve - Liz sent me a link to your dad's obituary and I'm so glad she did. What an interesting life he led! I see a lot of your dad in you. It's so tough no matter what age your parent is when they leave you, but I hope you all will take comfort in your fond memories of his life. I know it helped me when my dad passed. Please know I'm thinking of you and your family today.
