On December 20, 2025, Dr. Antonio Galletto peacefully entered into rest at age 93, in his home in Burlingame. He was blessed to enjoy many happy memories with his large family. He was the beloved husband of the late Elizabeth Galletto for 52 years; loving father of five good children; cherished Nonno to nine grandchildren; proud Bisnonno to nine great grandchildren; and adored Zio of twelve nephews and nieces in Italy.
Born in Treviso, Italy, he graduated from the University of Padova Medical School with 110/100. At the suggestion of a friend, he moved to New York City at age 26. During his internship there, he met his future wife, Betty, a nurse. They were married in San Francisco where he began his distinguished career in internal medicine at Kaiser Permanente South San Francisco. He served as a treasured physician for 32 years. After retiring to Sonoma County, he enjoyed his garden where he planted dozens of fruit trees and all kinds of vegetables.
Dad will always be remembered for his vivacious spirit and unconditional love for his family. Generous and compassionate, he lived out his Catholic values by supporting those in need. He shared his wisdom and guidance freely with all those who had the privilege of his company. May his journey onward be filled with the same love he so willingly gave all of us in this life.
Family and friends are invited for viewing on Friday December 26 from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church in Burlingame. Rosary & Funeral Mass will begin at 11:00 a.m. Private committal to follow.
In lieu of flowers, the family prefers donations to any charitable organization that serves the poor.
