Staff Report • January 1, 2020
HMG-CN has heard from multiple friends that former Norwalk Mayor Luigi Vernola has died. Others have told HMG-CN that Vernola’s brother and son-in-law also passed.
Vernola was well-known throughout Los Angeles and in particular his home town of Norwalk where he would drive around every Christmas in a float dressed as Santa handing out gifts to needy children.
Vernola would also hold a full turkey dinner and gift giveaway to over 3,000 folks every year for Thanksgiving.
