LAKEPORT, Calif. — Victor F. Bologna, age 89, of Lakeport passed away peacefully at his home on Dec. 16, 2024, with family by his side.

Victor was born on Oct. 28, 1935, in North Beach, San Francisco to parents, Vito and Jennie (Russo) Bologna.

He left behind his daughter, Vicky (Bologna) Magill, Lakeport; grandsons, Jesse Magill, Bethel Springs, Tennessee, and Tony Torrigino, Lucerne; son-in-law, Steve Torrigino, Lucerne; sister-in-law, Carol (Bixler) Bologna, Novato; nephew, Joe Bologna Jr., Hidden Valley Lake; nieces, DeAnn Bologna, Vallejo and Michelle Bologna, Michigan; lots of cousins, great nieces and nephews, good friend and fellow pilot, Gordon Dupree (Susie), San Rafael; and his devoted dog Rosie.

He is predeceased by his wife, Judy Bologna (April 6, 2021); daughter, Wendy (Bologna) Torrigino, Lucerne; brother, Joseph Bologna, Novato; son-in-Law, Blyine Magill, Poplar Bluff, Missouri.

Victor attended Galileo High School then joined the National Guard, 271st Missile Battalion from 1954 to 1961.

He married his wife, Judy, and they moved to San Anselmo, in 1968 where they raised their daughters.

They had a summer home in Lake County that the whole family enjoyed, lots of days on the water boating, water skiing, fishing and barbecues and eventually retired there.

Victor had owned a few service stations and a restaurant in San Francisco in his early days. He was a mechanic all his life. He always had hot rod cars, fast boats and motorcycles but his biggest passion was building and flying Ultralight Planes. The man loved to fly.

Vic always put his family first, he was a devoted husband, loving father, grandfather and always eager to help his friends. He was the man you could always count on. He had a great sense of humor and would give you a hard time, if he wasn’t, well that just meant he didn’t like you. You always knew where you stood with him.

Interment took place at the Upper Lake Cemetery.
