John Domenic Vitacco

To a man who lived every day more concerned about the needs and wishes of others than himself.  John Domenic Vitacco, 90, passed away on January 13, 2022 at home surrounded by his loving wife of 67 years, Marlene nee Hoffmann.

He grew up in the city of Chicago leaving at age 17 proudly to serve his country in the US Army serving as Seargent First Class during the Korean War.

John was a self-taught electrical consulting engineer responsible for the designs of electrical systems of many prominent commercial buildings including the Sears Tower and operating rooms for VA Hospitals. His dedication and passion allowed him to work until the age of 82, mentoring many along the way and winning the respect and admiration of his customers.

John impacted everyone in a unique way. A positive way. A memorable way. Encouraging everyone to be "the best of the best". John's legacy will live on by the individual stories told by many for years to come.
