May I express my heartfelt condolences to Chuck's family. Those were great years working together with as humble and charitable a person as Chuck at US Steel.
May God Bless You, Chuck. You'll be missed.

My condolences to Chuck's family for their great loss. Chuck was my first "Senior" at U.S. Steel. He always had a good word and a smile for his fellow workers. He was a thoughtful man who loved his family and always worked hard. Chuck surely earned his place in heaven.

Dear Betty, Carol, Greg, and all the Antonini Family,
It was truly a pleasure to get to know Chuck Antonini in my adult years, although I'd met "Mr. Antonini" many times when Greg and I were at Benet together. Christmases and Thanksgivings with them at our house or Greg's were always a delight, and I almost felt like one of the family. Chuck had a strength of character as well as a love of the ludicrous that I glimpsed often, and see in his son and daughter. He loved Betty and his family so much - it was about all he talked about when he visited Boise. When he, Carol and Betty came to my dad's wake several years ago, it warmed my heart. But that's the kind of man he was - kind, funny, considerate, and a great dad.
I am so sorry we cannot not make it in for the wake or funeral, but give my condolences to the entire extended family, and Betty, especially to you. He's in a better place, I know.
Love,
Pat, Carl and Kat Olsson

My condolences to the family of Mr. Antonini. I had the pleasure of working with Chuck and son Rich at U.S. Steel. I will always remember Chuck as a fast paced, hard working gentleman, who was always moving quickly around the office. In spite of this he always had time to stop and smile and say hello. May he rest in peace and may God comfort his family in this time of sadness.

In addition to being my boss for many years, Chuck was a good friend. There will always be a special place in my heart for him. His easy going personality and sense of humor provided me with a role model to emulate.
