Beyond his medical achievements, Dr. DeNicola's commitment to the community is exemplified by his
role in restoring and elevating the historic Packing House in Yorba Linda. Under his stewardship,
Caduceus Medical Group, has become an integral part of our city. Dr. DeNicola's passion for preserving
history extends beyond healthcare. He founded the Citrus Historic and Preservation League, honoring the
trains that shaped Orange County and celebrating the citrus industry's vital role in its growth.
As you know, the DeNicola s purchased the Seal Beach Water Tower, demonstrating a keen interest in
Orange County's architectural heritage. Your iconic water tower, originally built in the 19th century to
service steam engines and provide water to the area, faced the threat of removal in the 1980s. Thanks to
the Sunset Beach Water Tower Campaign, it was saved and transformed into one of the world's most
unique residences. Similarly, Dr. DeNicola's commitment to maintaining and celebrating this iconic
structure aligns with his broader dedication to preserving local history.
As Historic Preservationists, Dr. Gregg and Mary DeNicola are part of the fabric of the Yorba Linda
community and held in high esteem. The DeNicolas have pledged to make this tower available to others,
who can vacation there and experience a unique piece of Orange County History they can be trusted to
keep their word.
In my role as a City Councilman in Yorba Linda, I have witnessed firsthand Dr. DeNicola's unwavering
commitment to significant causes that enhance our community's quality of life. His heart of service and
dedication to civic pride make him a true champion for the betterment of not only our city but the entire
region.
I wholeheartedly commend Dr. DeNicola for his leadership and commitment to creating, preserving, and
celebrating the Seal Beach Water Tower as a unique community jewel. His passion for history, coupled
with a genuine desire to educate others, will undoubtedly contribute to the continued enhancement of our
shared heritage.
Sincerely,
Councilman Carlos Rodriguez
City of Yorba Linda
