Carmen Del Giudice Obituary
Carmen attended Fenwick High School, University of Illinois and Northern Illinois University. He was a loyal alumnus of U. of I. and an avid fan of the university's teams. A former athlete, coach, athletic director and teacher, he retired from lake Park High Schools in 2017. A southpaw, Carmen was drafted by Joe DiMaggio for the Oakland A's Minor League.
Carmen loved being with his family and friends, following sports, enjoying music and reading mysteries.
Carmen suffered from numerous health problems and the family extends their deepest gratitude to those who cared for him at Sunrise Assisted Living, Fresenius Kidney Care, and Endeavor Health.
A Celebration of Life will be held later this spring. Burial will be private.

Carmen was my fraternity brother. A larger than life character who set me up with my first job and first date in college and my first and only nickname. A true big brother. This is how I'll always remember him.

A great man. Was my coach back in the 80s but learned more off the court from him.

Carmen was a dear friend. We enjoyed many years working together at Lake Park High School. He was a teacher, athletic director and coach. Carm loved his family and he loved his sports. He enjoyed watching the University of Illinois sports on TV and followed them religiously. He will be dearly missed. My condolences to the family. Carmen rest in peace my dear friend.

Now that the baseball season is upon us, I miss our phone calls when we would talk about what the Sox and Cubs were doing wrong. As long as there is baseball, those memories will stay with me. RIP GOOD FRIEND

As a fellow student, baseball teammate (he pitched and I was the catcher), and daily lunch table mate of Carmen's at Fenwick (1963-1967), I can say he was one of the most memorable guys I've met in my life. He was full of life, a great decent down-to-earth guy, and had a dream of one day playing baseball professionally - and that dream came true!.Back in the day, in high school, that was quite a big dream to tell us about but in the end most of us were not surprised he achieved that dream because he truly believed he could do it. What an inspiring story. My sincere condolences to Carmen's family; he definitely will not be forgotten by those of us who knew him.

My friendship with Carmen began at Sacred Heart grammar school, and continued at Fenwick High School where we both played on the baseball team. Sports brought a smile to his face and a closeness to his friends. Who can forget all the baseball , football, basketball and hockey on the Des Plaines River, what wonderful memories. My condolences to Carmen´s family, rest in peace my friend.

We went to Sacred Heart and then Fenwick together, where we played baseball. Although I hadn´t seen him in decades, I remember Carm as a good guy and fine pitcher. My condolences to his family.

I went to Sacred Heart Grammar School in Melrose Park with Carmen. We also played on the same little league team, the Yankees. The picture is of a senior league Winston Park/Melrose Park All-Star Team, 1964. Carm is at the top right. Rest in Peace, my friend. Nick Nitti

Carmen was my athletic director when I was head boys varsity tennis coach at Lake Park.
He was easy to work with and very supportive of the tennis program.
