George Pernicano (born 1917)
Pernicano, along with Barron Hilton and other prominent San Diegans, brought the San Diego Chargers to San Diego from Los Angeles in 1961. He originally owned 7% of the team, but currently retains 3%. On Sept 8, 1996, he was inducted into the Chargers Hall of Fame. Pernicano has attended every home game in 48 years and has only missed 2 away games, one for his grandson's wedding and one due to health issues.
