Albert Vargo August 23, 1917-February 14, 2011

Albert (Al) Vargo died peacefully in his sleep on Monday, February 14, at the home of his daughter and son-in-law in Lakebay, Washington. He was 93.

Al was raised in Youngstown, Ohio, and joined the Navy after graduating high school. He was stationed in the South Pacific during World War II as a Chief Petty Officer.

In 1944, he married Evonne Westerman. The couple had one daughter, Becky.

Following his retirement from the Navy in 1946, Vargo worked for Boeing in Seattle, Washington, for nearly 30 years. He remained in the Naval Reserve throughout most of his life.

He married a second time in 1981, and the couple moved to Sisters. He and his wife, Georgi, enjoyed traveling on motorcycles across the West.

Al was an avid fisherman and golfer, and enjoyed puttering in the yard. He joined a gym in his 80s and stayed in good health into his early 90s. After the death of Georgi, Al remained in Sisters three more years until March, 2010. He spent most of his last year in the company of family.

He is survived by his daughter, Becky and her husband, Dennis, his step-daughter, Marianne, and her husband, Ed, four grandchildren and a step-grandchild, nine great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

There will be no service. The family says Al has gone fishing.
