George Luciano 

May 6, 1932 – July 2, 2026

George Luciano, a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather and great-grandfather, respected businessman, and loyal friend, passed away peacefully on July 2, 2026, at the age of 94.

Born on May 6, 1932, George lived a life defined by faith, integrity, hard work, and an unwavering love for his family. He was the beloved husband of Jacqui and a proud father to Frank, Lori, and Rick. His greatest joy was watching his family grow through his grandchildren—Anna, Veronica, Cristina, and Holden—and his great-grandchildren, Cody, Cassidy Rose, Brooklyn, and Blake. Nothing brought him greater happiness than being surrounded by those he loved.

Proud of his Italian heritage, George embraced the values that shaped his life: loyalty, perseverance, generosity, respect, and the importance of family. He believed that a person's word mattered, that success was earned through hard work, and that relationships were life's greatest blessing.

George began his career in public service with the Alhambra Police Department, serving from 1955 to 1967 and rising to the rank of Detective. He carried the principles he learned in law enforcement throughout the rest of his career.

For more than five decades, George became one of the most respected leaders in the fields of retail security, loss prevention, and asset protection. He served in the Security Department for Vons Grocery Company before becoming Vice President of Loss Prevention for Smith's Food King. He later served as Vice President of Asset Protection for HRT Industries and Clothestime, where he earned a reputation as an innovative leader, trusted mentor, and man of unquestioned integrity.

In 1988, George fulfilled his entrepreneurial dream by founding Civil Demand Associates. Even after many successful years in executive leadership, he continued working with the company until his retirement in 2015, sharing his knowledge and passion with clients and colleagues alike.

In recognition of his extraordinary contributions to the retail loss prevention profession, George was inducted into the Ring of Excellence by the Loss Prevention Council of the National Retail Federation in 2013. This prestigious lifetime achievement honor recognized not only his professional accomplishments, but also his leadership, innovation, integrity, and lasting impact on an entire industry. It was an achievement of which he was deeply proud and one that reflected the respect he earned from colleagues throughout the nation.

Those who knew George admired his calm confidence, sharp wit, and generous spirit. He had a remarkable ability to make people feel important, whether they were lifelong friends, business associates, or someone he had just met. He believed in encouraging others, leading by example, and treating everyone with dignity and respect.

Away from work, George enjoyed following NFL football, spending time with family and friends, and sharing stories that often ended with laughter. Whether he was known as George, "Lucky" to his longtime friends, "Pop" to his children, or "Noni" to his grandchildren, he will be remembered as a man whose strength was matched by his kindness and whose accomplishments were surpassed only by his love for his family.

George leaves behind a legacy far greater than his professional achievements. He leaves a family grounded in his values, friendships strengthened by his loyalty, and countless lives enriched by his wisdom, generosity, and example. He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered.
