Carmine DiGiovine, age 68, passed away peacefully on October 29, 2024 at Lightways Hospice, surrounded by the love of his family. He was born on August 29, 1956 in Joliet, IL.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Anthony and Florence (nee DiPietrantonio) DiGiovine.

Carmine grew up in Plainfield Township and graduated from Plainfield Township High School, Class of 1974. He retired from DIAGEO after many years of loyal service.
