JOSEPH DELUCCHI
A native son of Stockton, who has never lost sight of his determination to become a successful lawyer, is Joseph Delucchi, who is practicing his profession in Stockton with offices located in the Realty Building. He was born in Stockton February 22, 1895, a son of Lorenzo and Lena (Armanino) Delucchi, both natives of Genoa, Italy. Thirty-two years ago Lorenzo Delucchi located in San Joaquin County and was engaged in farming. Twenty years ago William Newman, who owned an eighty-acre ranch near Linden, made the proposition to Lorenzo Delucchi that if he would plant the eighty acres to grapes and care for same, he would give him one-half of the property. Mr. Delucchi planted the ranch to Mission and Black Prince grapes and cared for same and Mr. Newman gave him forty acres as agreed upon. He still owns twenty acres of this ranch, which has been very productive; he also owns valuable real estate in the city of Stockton. Both parents are still living, and they have four children: Joseph, Mrs. Lillian Bianchini, Lawrence and Doris. Joseph, the boy, attended the Fair Oaks school, then entered the Stockton high school, from which he was duly graduated with the class of 1915; he then entered the office of Hugh McNoble, where he began the study of law. In 1917 he joined the 307th Supply Company and was stationed at Madison Barracks, N.Y., until he was sent overseas to France. He drove a motor truck carry ammunition and supplies to the army and was frequently under fire. He was in the service for twenty-three months, then was returned to the United States and received his discharge as sergeant at the Presidio, San Francisco, October 4, 1919. In November of the same year he resumed his study of the law in Stockton; the following year, September 1, 1920, he was admitted to practice law in the appellate court, Sacramento County. Fraternally he is a member of the Karl Ross Post No. 16, American Legion, the Maccabees and the San Joaquin County Bar Association. He is a believer in the future prosperity of his home city and loses no opportunity to boost for Stockton and San Joaquin County.
