George Sanfilippo, 94, a retired photo engraver who lived in Mundelein the past 53 years, died Wednesday at Condell Medical Center in Libertyville. He was born and raised in Chicago. He worked for Hall Printing in Chicago and retired at age 65, when the printing process of rotogravure replaced etchings. Over the past few years, he spent three days a week as “the life of the party” at Condell’s intergenerational day-care program, in which children mingle with the elderly, his daughter, Linda San Filippo, said. Other survivors include his wife, Rose Sanfilippo; another daughter, Sandra Mular; a sister, Josephine Emmling; eight grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at Kristan Funeral Home, 219 Maple Ave., Mundelein. Memorial mass will follow at 12:30 p.m. at Santa Maria del Popolo Chapel, 116 N. Lake St., Mundelein.
