Luigi Mariutto

Luigi was born June 29, 1933 in Orgnese, Italy to Ubaldo and Eleanora Mariutto.  He passed away peacefully May 3, 2017 surrounded by his loving family.

Luigi is survived by his wife of 62 years, Luisa, their daughter, Eleanor (Mark) Kuczera, and their son Paolo (Mary) Mariutto.  Luigi took great pride in his grandchildren, Danielle (Paolo) Cairoli, Nicolas (Emily) Kuczera, Jude Mariutto and Joseph Mariutto. Nonno, as they called him, was a role model, instilling the importance of hard work, education and family.  He supported them at countless piano recitals and soccer games.  Luigi delighted in his great-grandchildren, Francesca and Sabrina Cairoli, and Holden Kuczera, who always surrounded him with laughter and imagination.  Luigi’s sisters, Ines Tramontin, Amelia Bier, and Luigia Daniel, brother Rudy (Bice) Mariutto, and many nieces and nephews will miss him greatly.  He was preceded in death by his parents, and sisters, Lucia Maraldo and Emi Roman.

Luigi was a skilled artisan working in tile and terrazzo for decades with the Bricklayer’s Union in Detroit, Michigan.  He leaves a legacy of beautiful installations throughout Michigan, England and Italy.

Visitation will be held from 9am until the time of Mass at 11am, Tuesday, May 9 at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, 1023 McHenry Ave, Crystal Lake, Illinois.  Interment will be private.
