November 12, 2009By Trevor Jensen, TRIBUNE REPORTER
Anthony Santucci and his family started a restaurant across from Midway Airport after World War II and served up signature rectangular pizzas, homemade soups and other Italian fare for more than 40 years.
Mr. Santucci, 84, died of heart failure Monday, Sept. 21, in St. Catherine's Medical Center in Kenosha, said his daughter Colette, who goes by Cookie. He lived in the northern suburbs.
The son of immigrants from Pizzone, Italy, Mr. Santucci grew up in Chicago's Taylor Street neighborhood. His father ran a tavern at Kedzie Avenue and Arthington Street.
