Obituary
Flavio Tamo, age 80, died peacefully in his home on Feb. 19, 2021, in Concord, Calif.
Flavio was born on May 31, 1940, in Locarno, Switzerland, to parents Steve and Rosa. He graduated from Laney College in Oakland, Calif., with a degree in Technical Drawing.

Flavio was a great family man and a loving father. He married Helen in 1966 and the couple had two children together.
Flavio was a social, active man who was deeply involved in travel and his numerous hobbies for the majority of his life. He enjoyed his trips to Mexico and the far reaches of the Earth, and making wine, chocolates and baked goods, and just really knowing how to have a good time. His family and friends will always remember him as a kind, fun-loving and thoughtful person, putting others first and always happy to lend a hand.
Flavio is survived by his two loving sons, Marc Tamo of Oakland, and Eric Wgner-Tamo of San Leandro, Calif.; and his four grandsons: Roman, Joaquin, Silas and Oscar. He is preceded in death by his wife, Helen Tamo, of Concord.
