With greatest of sadness, the family and friends of Joseph F. Locallo, Sr. (Joe) announce his passing on March 30, 2021 at the age of 96. He is survived by his wife Elizabeth J. Locallo (Bidlo) and his loving children, Diana Vera, (Arturo) Joseph Jr., (Kristine), John, and Beth Allegretti, (Ed); his devoted grandchildren, Joseph Locallo III (Catie), Jenna Kay (Michael), Art Vera (Josephine), Carlos Vera (Natalia) and Eddie Allegretti; his loving great grandchildren Jack, Tom, Jubilee, Victor, Esther, Lucy, Ezekiel, Mackenzie and Vincenzo, and many loving nieces and nephews who knew him as Uncle Joe.
He was born to parents Frank Locallo and Victoria Locallo (Guzzardo), on May 2, 1924, the third son of four children, Victor, Sam, Joe & Gus. Joe attended Waller High School, Chicago, IL, where he met the love of his life, Elizabeth. He was captain and star left-handed pitcher for the Waller baseball team, often answering to the name "Lefty" by his teammates. After high school, Lefty Locallo played baseball for the Chicago Cubs farm team in the Carolina leagues from 1943-1945 and even tried out for the Chicago Bears, but alas, he was destined to do other things. He married his high school sweetheart, Elizabeth, in 1945 and started his family.
