Mr. Lorenzetti owned Carlo’s Restaurant in Chicago Heights; Livio’s Restaurant & Bar ion St. John, Ind.; and Gourmet Pizza by Carlo in Flossmoor. He died at Ingalls Hospice in Harvey.

Mr. Lorenzetti loved his customers and the feeling was mutual, daughter Carla Lorenzetti said today.

“We’ve heard from so many people. It’s just been unbelievable. He touched so many people,” she said.
