In Memoriam: Sergio De La O Jr.

Lifelong Healdsburg resident and local childcare leader Sergio De La O Jr. has passed away at the age of 59. He went to state college in Chico, where he studied child development, psychology and family relations, his obituary says. “He enjoyed working with children and was employed at Head Start, Sonoma County Family YMCA, and as the Center Director for Extended Childcare at Cali Calmecac School in Windsor for 24 years.” Also: “Sergio was compassionate, humorous, and a sponge of knowledge. … He was a great storyteller, and had an incredible memory for all things related to family stories, which brought him the most joy. He was someone who could light up a room and who you could always count on to make you laugh.” Sergio’s mom Luisa just died last year. His services will be held at St. John’s Church on the Friday after next. (Source: Legacy.com)
