Donald Anthony Laurino

Donald Anthony Laurino, 92, of South Barrington, passed away peacefully on September 24, 2026, in Hoffman Estates.

Born in Chicago on February 7, 1934, to Michael and Mary (nee Marzano) Laurino, Donald grew up with a strong sense of duty. After graduating from high school, he proudly served his country in the United States Army, spending two years stationed in Germany.

Upon returning home, Donald met Catherine Loperena after her brother brought him home for a visit. They were married on May 28, 1960, and happily celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary earlier this year. Together, Don and Catherine created a lifetime of cherished memories, from tropical getaways to joyful Florida family vacations with their children.

A true jack-of-all-trades, Donald was a skilled handyman who constantly took on challenging projects around the house. He was also a computer enthusiast, spending many hours exploring new advancements in technologies. A devoted Chicago sports fan, he rarely missed a chance to cheer on his favorite teams, the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Bears. Above all, Donald was known for his warm, friendly spirit and his generous heart. He never said no to anyone who needed a helping hand. He was a deeply devoted husband, father, and friend whose kindness will be missed beyond measure.

Donald is survived by his beloved wife of 66 years, Catherine Laurino, and his children, Joan S. Laurino and Donald (Joan) Laurino Jr. 

He was preceded in death by his sister, Josephine (Jerome) Green.
