Dear Karen and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
As one of the Datacenter Operations guys I have fond memories of Chris and the dinners we had when the old gang would get together.

Rest in peace old friend.

Dear Karen and Iacullo family,
Although I was not in frequent contact with Chris after working with him at the Chicago Datacenter in the late 60's and early 70's, there remain the fondest of memories that shall never be erased. The
Datacenter in the lower level of the Daley Center was a special place and time to be employed. Work and fun merged. Chris was often in the middle of it all. I will never forget him and that special time. May he rest in peace.

I was always known as one of the “little counsins”, although today there are 2 more generations on this earth.
My Best Memories of Cousin Chris, date back 30+ years ago (seeing that in writing makes my bones ache) when our big Italian family was still getting together for summer picnics and Palm Sunday’s. It was always a very intimidating situation for me (in my teenager brain) to walk into a room overfilled with family who’s names I couldn’t remember...faces yes, but names?!...and then, try to remember who was married to who, which were their kids (married?) and then their kids, etc., and how they were related to my Dad. I’m exhausted just thinking about it all over again .
Chris, Christy, Christopher...HE I always remembered. Handsome, friendly, smile, happy, fun...as big of a guy as he was, his personality was even bigger and filled the room. He made me feel comfortable.
Charisma (definition) – a rare quality or power attributed to those persons who have demonstrated an exceptional ability for winning the devotion of large numbers of people; personal magnetism or charm; a divinely inspired gift = Chris Iacullo
Abundance of Peace & Love to you all, Carian Marie (Antonionette Klein) Smith

I worked with Chris in the late 70's/early 80's at the Chicago Datacenter. Chris was the "Mayor" of Mayor's Row and the Genrerl Manager of the Datacenter softball team. I know in my heart that there's a new precinct captain in the 1st Ward in Heaven today.

We were blessed to have known you.

Thanks for the memories Chris.

Chris will be missed. He was a good friend and fellow worker. I will miss the various conversations we had each month. He loved his wife and children, and that was a main topic each time we met. He would be there for you if needed.
