Servando Luciano

October 28, 1964 - April 12, 2017

Servando Luciano, age 52 late of Frankfort, IL, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family on April 12, 2017.

Servando started washing dishes for Klaus Ditschler at the age of 16 and worked his way to the top, where he became a gourmet chef at Chef Klaus’ Bier Stube in Frankfort, IL. He and Klaus both traveled to Germany & Austria many times, to keep the food at Die Bier Stube as authentic as possible.

Servando loved his family & grandchildren very much. It was important to him to spend as much time with them as possible. In his spare time his hobbies included hunting, gardening, and of course cooking, since he loved to share his gift of the kitchen with everyone. He will be missed by many friends and coworkers.
