Daniel J. Pompilio, last founder of Newport restaurant
Daniel Joseph Pompilio, the last of the founders of Pompilio's Italian restaurant in Newport, died at 1:47 p.m. Wednesday at St. Elizabeth Medical Center South in Edgewood. He was 80.
Mr. Pompilio was a teen-ager when his parents opened Pompilio's with their three sons in 1933.
"My grandmother did most of the cooking. The three boys did the management and the bar. My grandfather was the boss," said Mr. Pompilio's son, Daniel, who is a Ft. Thomas police officer.
A community landmark, Pompilio's gained national fame when used as a location for the Oscar-winning film "Rainman."
The Pompilios ran the restaurant until 1982, when the three sons retired and sold it.
"They would work 12 and 14 hours a day, seven days a week," the younger Pompilio said.
He said his father's only break from the business was when he attended the University of Kentucky in 1941 and enrolled in ROTC. When World War II broke out, he enlisted and served through 1944, when he returned to Pompilio's.
"He was always able to work with people. Years after they sold the restaurant, employees would keep in touch with him, stopping to visit," Daniel Pompilio said. "You weren't just an employee, you were part of the family."
"People tell us he did things for them that we never knew about. He never said anything," the younger Pompilio said. "One couple lost their home in a fire. He gave them a down payment on a house. They worked at the restaurant."
The elder Daniel Pompilio and his wife, Myrtle, had been childhood sweethearts, their son said. They maintained lifelong friendships with a group of high school classmates.
After they retired, the friends formed a club. "Two or three times a month they would go bowling, go out to dinner. They went on vacations together," Daniel Pompilio said. "My father was a very active and fun-loving person. He taught me and everyone around him to treat everyone else the way you would want them to treat you."
Mr. Pompilio and his wife lived in Newport until 1969, when they moved to Ft. Thomas. Two years ago they moved to a condo in Wilder. They would go to Florida every year for Cincinnati Reds' spring training, and return for Opening Day.
He was a member of the Ft. Thomas Retired Mens Club and the 55 Club at St. Thomas Church in Ft. Thomas.
His recent illness had been sudden; he died of heart failure, his son said.
In addition to his wife and son, survivors include daughters, Sandra Crawford of Newport, Kathy Eggerding of Cincinnati and Karen Gassmann of Ft. Wright; and seven grandchildren.
