Lloyd Joseph Ferranti

A beloved father of four, Lloyd is survived by his wife of 74 years Margaret Dale Ferranti (née Mullen), son Gary Ferranti, daughter Heather Kinser, sister Mary Berta, and three loving granddaughters, Gina Haena, Audra Kinser, and Annette Kinser. Two dearly missed adult children, Dennis Ferranti and Leanne Comisky, preceded him in passing, as well as a sister Vilma Mott. Lloyd’s family was fortunate to have him for 97 wonderful years. At the end, he left us due to “OA” (old age, as he would say) and complications from heart and kidney failure.

A native of Burlingame, Lloyd was a graduate of Burlingame High School and San Mateo Junior College, where he and Dale met in 1950. For many years, Lloyd managed the data processing department at Armour/ConAgra in South SF, working with punch cards and huge computers. He later managed accounts at Professional Food Systems in the South Bay. Lloyd was a longtime parishioner of St. Mark’s Church in Belmont.

In retirement, Lloyd volunteered for the food pantry at Samaritan House and kept busy at home with yardwork and household repairs, at which he excelled. Lloyd learned to sweep at his father’s produce store on Burlingame Ave, and nobody could sweep a patio better. He will be interred at Alta Mesa Cemetery in Palo Alto. No public services are planned. In lieu of flowers, please donate in Lloyd’s name to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, or to Mission House Hospice in Redwood City.
