 | | | November 13, 1926 - March 28, 2017 | | | | | | Bay Area resident, Dr. Victor Eugene Garbarino, 90, died peacefully on March 28, 2017 at his home in Orinda, California.
After serving in the Army during WWII, he came home and put himself through University of Michigan's dental school and began his practice in Orinda. He married his wife of 60 years, Joan Garbarino, and raised a family of six children: Paul, Tim, Claude, Alexa, Ann, and Thad. He was a beloved husband, a devoted father, and a kind and generous friend to everyone who knew him. Quick to laugh with an adventurous soul, 'Gene' was a student of life with a boundless interest in the world around him, a true gentleman from the Greatest Generation.
A celebration of his life will be held privately. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Gene's name to Las Trampas, Inc. PO Box 515, Lafayette, CA 94549 or made on line at http://lastrampas.org/donate/.
