Louis Adolph Raffo

1941 - 2025

Louis Adolph Raffo (Lou) was born on June 23, 1941, in San Francisco, CA, and passed away peacefully at his home in San Mateo on November 10, 2025.

Lou was a bright and steady light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. He found joy in the simple pleasures - time spent in Twain Harte, where he savored the beauty of every season, and the quiet moments that made life meaningful. His passion for vintage cars was matched only by the depth of his love for his family. He treasured every opportunity to travel, but nothing brought him more happiness than the vacations shared with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Professionally, Lou dedicated his career to S&C Ford, where he served as part owner and Vice President, earning respect and admiration from colleagues and customers alike.

Lou is survived by his devoted wife of 63 years, Barbara; his children Rick and his wife Arlene, Don, and Michele and her husband Michael; and his eight grandchildren: Tori, Dillan and his wife Ligia, Amanda and her husband Sergio, Ricky, Reese, Nikki, Jenna, and David. In 2024, he was blessed to welcome great-grandchildren Logan and Sage, bringing him immense joy in his later years.

A Celebration of Life honoring Lou Raffo will be held on November 22, 2025.
