Rolando Messori

March 25, 1929 - December 16, 2016

Our father, now in heaven, joined our loving mother Dolores on December 16, 2016. Rolando Messori is survived by his three children, Roland Joseph Messori, William David Messori and Maria Cristina Berg; his 6 grandsons Tyson, John, Billy, Andrew, Anthony and Joey; and, his great grand daughter Delia. Rolando was a strong and persistent man both in his daily life and with the love of his family. He immigrated from Italy at 10 years old to start a life in the United States. Roland graduated from Penn State University after serving in the United States Army. He met the love of this life at Penn State and then began work as a chemical engineer, building oil refineries in Sweden, Argentina, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon. His love for his job brought him around the world from Rome to Argentina and then back to the United States from Chicago to Houston and then finally California. Roland was enthusiastic about working out at the YMCA in Montecito, eating at all of the local Italian restaurants and supporting his community. He was an amazing and passionate man and will be missed very much. He is now back together with his wife dancing in the heavens where they both watch over their family who love them with all their hearts.
