Notes for Louis Kastello:
April 2005
I don't have a lot on Louie. We have visited his son Jimmie & wife a number of times in Dalzell, IL. I think there are some hard feelings Jimmie has about his father.
Louis Kastello, uncle of Michael Kastello, was involved in several endeavors during his lifetime. He ran a tavern, was in the trucking business, was a butcher, ran the Paramount Club, did a year in jail for bootlegging in the 30's. Apparently they rehabilitated him there and he became a cook!
He was primarily involved in the chicken business and began raising them in his basement for resale at grocery stores and taverns. I think his greatest love was gambling. He loved to gamble and everyone loved Louie. His name appears in historical documents about Kelly & Cawley's, a notorious gambling house/tavern in LaSalle.
Unfortunately, when he died he left behind many debts and no money. His wife Henrietta Passini Kastello was left with great in financial difficulties and their son Jimmy stepped in and took over the business and brought it into a sound financial condition. The business existed for many years in the LaSalle area after that. It is said this is where the famous tavern fried chicken of LaSalle and Peru began -- with Henrietta's recipie. The name of the business was "Kastellos -- For Better Poultry."
Questions: I have no birth cert for him; could shed light on where parents were from.
