Santo Peter LaQuatra

December 19, 2020

On December 19, 2020, Santo Peter LaQuatra, 72, heard one last time loving words from his siblings and family members that peacefully passed him into the arms of God. Son of the late Jack Laquatra and Nellie Mekonis Laquatra of Manchester and the North Side, brother of departed sister Christine Laquatra, Santo will be dearly missed by loving sisters Ida Laquatra Yeager, Roseanne Laquatra McCampbell, dedicated sisters Lydia-Laquatra Fesler (Paul) and Carolyn Laquatra Dish (Vincent), and never-will-forget younger brother, Paul Angelo (Effie). He is survived by his children Brooks and Elle LaQuatra of Elk Grove Village, Illinois, and many nieces and nephews who appreciated his wide, ready smile and skill for creating on-the-spot puns. Always thoughtful, Santo placed others before himself, a habit he began early in life with his family and extended to all who crossed his path. He financially supported his birth family for many years, an everlasting, generous gift. He was kindly thoughtful to anyone, everyone. His gentle soul only became excited when watching his favorite sports teams or racing cars with his dear sister, Ida. He will be remembered as a hard and tireless worker, a loyal sibling and forgiving friend, and role model for many reasons. The family extends an enduring thanks to the staff of St. Margaret Hospital who comforted him and gave them the cherished opportunity to say goodbye to their beloved brother.
