Upon returning to civilian life, Mr. Carlino attended El Camino College in Torrance, Calif., and then studied playwriting at the University of Southern California. After graduating in 1959, he earned a master’s degree in theater from the university in 1960. They had three children: Voné Natelle Carlino, who died in 1988; Lewis John Carlino II, who died in 2018; and Alessa, who survives him, along with one grandson and one great-granddaughter. In 1976 he married Jilly Chadwick, whom he met while she was working as a script supervisor on “The Brotherhood.” She died in 2015. Though his work faced harsh criticism at times, Mr. Carlino always prided himself on knowing his characters inside and out.
