January 17, 1937 - November 10, 2022
Carl A. DeLuce Jr. of Woodbridge, California, age 85, passed away peacefully on November 10, 2022.
Born in Pennsylvania on January 17, 1937, Carl was the beloved only child of parents Mary DeLuce (1910-2009) and Carl DeLuce Sr. (1905-1997). Like many Italian-Americans after the Depression and before the end of WWII, the DeLuce’s were on a quest for more opportunities, and the family made the decision to relocate to California. They settled in Woodbridge where they called home for the rest of their lives.
From 1960-1962 Carl served in the United States Army as an Honor Guard stationed in Arlington, Virginia. His career path included joining his father in the family’s paint contractor business, but his undeniable love was the stock market, and he spent the majority of his life investing.
Carl was a dear father to his son Tony DeLuce of Los Angeles, California and his daughter Jill DeLuce of Phoenix, Arizona.
Notable was his keen sense of humor and passion for sharing his knowledge about the stock market with family and friends. Carl enjoyed an afternoon at the horse races or at a poker table in Jackson. He will be greatly missed by his children and handful of dear
friends.
Carl was a private man and per his request, there will be no public funeral or memorial service. He will be laid to rest alongside his parents in the Last Supper Mausoleum at Cherokee Memorial Park in Lodi, California.
