Paul, AKA “Dutch” was born on January 15, 1925, in Chicago, Illinois, to Paul and Josephine Masilotti. Paul married Marie C. DiSilvio on August 17, 1946 in Chicago. He was an accomplished State Farm agent for 46 years in Northlake, Illinois.

Throughout his life he belonged to Mary Seat of Wisdom Catholic Church, St. Paul of the Cross Catholic Church and St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, where he was very fond of Fr. Dennis C. Day. Family was everything to Paul. When he arrived with his four daughters, he was often greeted as “Dutch and the 4 Ds”. He enjoyed picnics in the woods and traveling. Paul came from the Italian neighborhood of Chicago and loved his family Italian recipes, old cars, everything Chicago i.e. the Cubs, Bears, and his dog “Paison.”

He is survived by his four daughters, Donna Marie (John) Lorenz of Sagle, Diane Marie (Raymond) Prokop of Ingleside, Illinois, Deborah Marie Walat of McHenry, Illinois, and Denise Marie Beyer of Petaluma, California; five grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.
