Ronald Albo

On July 9, 2022, the Earthly world lost an athlete, competitor, fierce gambler, legendary barbecue, and most importantly, husband, father, and grandfather. Ronald Albo went to his Heavenly Father to join his parents, his brother-in-law and father-in-law, sister and brother who all preceded him in death.

Ron was born on August 24, 1954, to Luis Albo and Rose Vargas, in Watsonville. Ron remained in Watsonville with his wife of 24 years, Dora Valenzuela-Albo.

As a customer service expert in the grocery industry, Ron welcomed visitors to the grocery store and helped them with any shopping needs. Clipping coupons and finding great grocery deals became his favorite pastime, even after he retired from the grocery industry after nearly 50 years.

When he wasn't spending time with his family, Ron was playing his luck at the video poker machines in South Lake Tahoe or Reno. Somehow, he always knew what cards to keep and which to discard! He always said he would "send for the family" when he won big – that never happened, but he sure had fun doing what he loved! Another activity Ron loved was barbecuing, there wasn't a piece of meat, vegetable, or fruit that he couldn't make taste splendid from the barbecue.

Ron is survived by his beloved wife, Dora, children, Jarrett, Tino Villarreal, Mandy Sanchez, and Jayson Villarreal. He also leaves behind sister Dawn and brothers Louie and Gary Albo, daughters-in-law Jennifer and Taiisha, son-in-law Frank, five grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

If you would like to make a donation in Ronald Albo's honor to The Pancreatic Cancer Foundation, the family would greatly appreciate it. Mehl's Colonial Chapel was entrusted with funeral arrangements.
