Lasting Memories

Remo Modesto Imbimbo
Feb. 14, 1932-March 20, 2026
Woodside, California

Modesto Remo Imbimbo, known fondly as Rem, Pop, Nonno, & Uncle Remo, passed away at his home in Woodside, California. A true Valentine's child who filled every moment of his life with boundless love, laughter, & generosity.

The youngest of four children of Italian immigrants, he was predeceased by his siblings Dionigi (Nig), Carlo (Sam), & Catherine (Babe). His lifelong love story with Barbara Dacquisto began almost at birth. They married on April 25, 1954, and spent 72 never-a-dull-moment years together raising their children: Anita (Joseph) Cuevas, Antonia (Patrick) Draeger, Victoria Imbimbo, Steven (Laura Anderson) Imbimbo, & Mark Imbimbo. Beloved Nonno to grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Growing up in San Francisco, Rem followed in his father's footsteps into the family concrete business. His skill and work ethic would carry him into the Army, where he served in the Engineers Battalion. Once back home, he returned to work with his father and brothers at Golden West Concrete in Daly City. Eventually, Rem, his brother Nig, and nephew John would continue in ownership and running the company, working throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area until 1994.

In 1965, Rem’s family, along with partners, would build the Millbrae Square Shopping Center, eventually becoming the Millbrae Square Company. Rem would later become the managing General Partner, transforming a small strip mall into a thriving community hub. In 1982, he joined other business owners and started Liberty Bank in So. San Francisco, serving as their first chairman of the board.

In 1964, Rem and Barbara moved their family to Woodside, where they quickly became beloved members of the community. Their home became a place of warmth and celebration, hosting holiday get-togethers, cioppino feeds and the legendary Gang BBQs, where friends and family would gather each year.

Rem's heart was endlessly open. Beyond his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, there are 30+ who lovingly call him Nonno, a testament to the many he embraced as family. Rem built more than buildings; he built a life grounded in love, humor, integrity, and generosity. A foundation that will endure for generations.

A celebration of life is being planned for May.
