JASPER SANFILIPPO Obituary

BARRINGTON HILLS - Jasper B. Sanfilippo, 88, was born on March 26, 1931 in Chicago, and passed away peacefully at home January 28, 2020 surrounded by family. Jasper attended Lake View High School in Chicago and was a 1953 graduate of the University of Illinois. After graduation, he served 6 months Tour of Duty in the U.S. Army. On July 14, 1956, Jasper married the love of his life, Marian R. Fabsits at Our Lady of Mercy Church in Chicago. He took over the family business, John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. in 1963 and successfully led the company until his retirement in 2006. Jasper was a passionate collector of steam engines, automated music machines and art glass. He belonged to many organizations of mechanical music that brought him joy, including the Musical Box Society International (MBSI), Automated Musical Instrument Collectors Association (AMICA), the Carousel Organ Association of America (COAA) and the Coin Operated Collectors Association (COCA). Jasper combined his passion for collecting with his commitment to philanthropy by opening their home to host charity events to raise funds for non-profit organizations. He is survived by his wife, Marian R. Fabsits, his children, John (Susan), Jim (Renata), Jeffrey (Rusty), Lisa and Jasper (Laura) Sanfilippo; grandchildren, Danielle, Allison, William and Nicholas Evon, Jasper, Johnny, Grace, Jaclyn, James, Enzo, Jasper, Caroline, Tallon, and EJ Sanfilippo; great-granddaughter, Adelyne Weigele; nieces and nephews, Rita, Rosalie, Joseph, Roseanne, Elaine, Michael, Mary Jo and Jim; and brothers-in-law, Mathias Valentine and Thomas (Carmelita) Karacic.

I can recall Mr Sanfilippo stopping by my parents house in Glenview in the early 1970's. My father, Robert Lithall was a manufactures representative, and sold Sanfilippo, assorted candy items like Geotz Caramel cremes and Cornuts to repackage under the Warner Candy and Sanfilippo names. RIP.

Heartfelt Condolences to the family. Jasper was very well liked by my Father, Joe Mazza. Dad always shared fond memories of the fundraisers in the Barrington home and the gracious hosting by Jasper and Marian. May the family be blessed and held in God's comfort during this time.
