Chester Salituro Obituary
1931 - 2013
Chester Salituro, 82 of Kenosha, died peacefully at his home on Monday, Dec. 23, 2013, surrounded by his loving family.
Born Cesare Salvatore Salituro in Rende, Province of Cosenza, Italy on Dec. 15, 1931, he was the son of the late Settimio and Concetta (DeMarco) Salituro. As a young boy, Chester and his family came to America, moving to Kenosha in 1934. He attended local schools and graduated from Mary D. Bradford High School in 1950. He subsequently attended U.W. Madison.
On Aug. 15, 1959, in Kenosha, he married Dorene Ruka.
Chester began his working career as a shoe shine boy in downtown Kenosha at the Busy Bee Shoe Repair. For over 30 years, he was employed as a custodian with the Kenosha Unified School District, retiring in 1995.
Once referred to as the Rummage Sale King of Kenosha, he chose to forego vacations, and instead spent his leisure time bargain hunting and socializing at local gatherings. He also enjoyed watching the Green Bay Packers and fixing things in his home and his childrens homes.
He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Dorene Salituro; his two daughters, Debra (Dennis) Capozza and Denise (Oscar) Villalobos; his four grandchildren, Matthew Prenis, Tiffany Werwie, Anthony Villalobos and Angela Villalobos; his great granddaughter, Summer Ray Powell; and his two brothers, Michael (Emilia) Salituro and Sam (Nancy) Salituro.
Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, Dec. 28, 2013, beginning with a prayer service at 9:15 a.m. at the Piasecki-Althaus Funeral Home. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. at St. Mary Catholic Church, 7400 39th Avenue. Entombment will follow in All Saints Mausoleum. A visitation for Chester will be held at the funeral home on Friday, Dec. 27 from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m.
The family would like to give a special thank you to Dr. Ziarko, his nurse Cindy, and all the wonderful and compassionate hospital staff members Chester encountered throughout the years because of the kindness they showed him and the joy they brought to him.
