Frank Charles Livoti, born on May 25, 1933 passed away on January 26, 2023 at the age of 89 surrounded by his loving family.

Frank was born in Sacramento, California to Charles and Elvira Livoti, older brother to his siblings Joan and Charlie. Frank spent his early years in Roseville where his father ran the Livoti Olive Oil plant. When his father died unexpectedly in 1950, he helped his mother to run the family business until it was sold a few years later. In 1954 he married the love of his life Adrienne Presto and in 1957 they moved to Torrance to make their permanent home. In the decade to come, Frank and “A” would welcome six lively daughters. They have resided in Ranch Palos Verdes for the last forty years.

Upon arriving in Los Angeles Frank began his work in the food processing industry. Starting from the ground floor it wasn’t long before he was running the entire plant. In 1979, Frank, along with his two business partners, established Pacific Fruit Processing. In the ensuing years their company became a cutting-edge leader in the fruit processing field. Frank retired at the age of 73 leaving his mark not only on his industry but all those he worked with.

Frank was also a self-taught carpenter, electrician, plumber, painter and all around handyman. He generously shared his talents with numerous family and friends over the years. His other passion was traveling the world with Adrienne. In addition to their solo trips, his children were able to join them on many of their adventures.
