Mr. Angelo Militello Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Angelo Militello, of Skokie, December 27, 2020. Born March 30, 1939, the eldest son of Jack and Lena (nee Cicero) Militello. Angelo was raised on the northwest side of Chicago with his siblings Regina (Scott) Gregory, John, and the late Stephen and Michael Militello. Angelo attended Steinmetz High School and in 1956 met his future wife Francine nee Vitacco through mutual friends. They were married for 58 years and together raised three children Deanne (Frank) McCannon and the late Gregory and Lisa Militello. Angelo was the proud Papa of two granddaughters, Helina and Jada McCannon, who miss him very much. Angelo will be most fondly remembered for being a father figure, mentor, role model and ear to countless nieces, nephews and family friends. Angelo attended Notre Dame University, graduating in 1961 with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and in 1966 earned a Master's in Education in Supervision and Administration from Loyola University. He worked as a teacher and school administrator at Ridgewood High School for 33 years where he touched the lives of too many young people to count. Following his retirement from Ridgewood, Angelo was an educational consultant and advocate for teens and young adults. He spent 10 years on staff at Jewish Children and Family Services. Over the years he was involved with many nonprofit organizations such as the Cancer Wellness Center and The Compassionate Friends and most recently served on the Commission of Family Services for the Village of Skokie. Due to these unprecedented times, the visitation and funeral will be private. The family is planning a celebration of life service at a later date.
