Editor’s note: This is part of an occasional series on the people who have helped build Manteca as the city gets ready to celebrate the 100th anniversary of incorporation this year.A spirited young Italian boy vigorously playing his piccolo caught the attention of a Portuguese Festa organizer who put him in the Holy Ghost Celebration parade in the 1920s.Frank Fiore Sr.’s musical talents were passed on to his four children who learned to play the organ and the accordion. Even today son Frank leads the teen choir at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church.Frank would grow into a very successful business man in Manteca establishing the Center Appliance and Center Plumbing businesses in downtown Manteca at the corner of North Main and Center streets with the support of his wife Frances. His parents came from Italy, first Grandma in 1912 and then later Grandpa Fiore who had to wait until he saved enough money for the trip.
