Michael Antonino Obituary
March 4, 1948 ~ Feb 15, 2025
Michael Antonino entered into the presence of the lord peacefully with his loving wife and daughter in his home on February 15th, 2025.
Michael was born and raised in Boston Massachusetts by his wonderful family. His parents Michael and Nancy Antonino, his brother Steve and sister Lori, his grandparents Rosario and Dina Mercuri and his beloved uncle Gino and Aunty Shirley Piccinini.
Michael's greatest pride was his family. His wife Amy, his daughter Carla, his son Brian and his grandchildren Tyson and Alyssa Antonino were his greatest joys.
Michael was a proud United States Marine. He served as a front lineman in the Vietnam War. He received many honors including a Purple Heart.
Michael loved his job as a registered land surveyor. He worked at the Boston Edison for many years before opening his own company "Antonino Land Surveyors"
His influence and love will forever remain in the hearts of his family, friends and all those that had the privilege of knowing him and his unforgettable, loving, kind, funny, generous beautiful spirit.
"WE LOVE YOU"
For god so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life in heaven. John 3.16

Michael,
You raised an amazing daughter who is going to carry on your legacy respect the values that you instilled in her and the most important thing you transferred to Carla is that she loves the Lord as our time on earth here is short, but eternity is forever. You did the most important thing of Father is to do and that is to raise your children to fear the Lord. Mission accomplished thank you for the strong, amazing man and father, that you will always remain in the hearts of those that knew you and loved you.

Dad, I'm thinking of you so much today .. as I do everyday .. and missing you more than I could ever explain to anyone. Since the day I was born you protected me and loved me and made me feel that you were so glad I was born. I watched you live your life with so much love and kindness and grace and honor . I couldn't be more proud you are my dad. Everything you taught me will always stay with me and I will do my best to be like you. I would do anything to have one more minute of my life with you and hug you and tell you I love you. I really can't imagine a better man in this entire world than you dad and I will miss you every minute of my life and can't wait to get to heaven to be with you. I hope your eating lots of hot peppers and meatballs and telling everyone their all your jokes
I love you dad . I miss you with all heart. I will never be the same without you. Ever .

To Mike´s Family and Friends,
Kind, smart, funny, honest, loyal, stuck-in-his-ways (think flip phone!), constantly being mistaken for Tom Selleck, and the epitome of what a really good guy is. We all love and miss Mike.
I offer this story to you all that I think embodies who Mike was: Not long ago, my late husband, John, and Mike would be playing pool most of the evening in Amy and Mike´s living room. John loved to play pool. As John got sicker, Mike patiently played pool with him, even though John would erratically play both solid and striped balls! But Mike would just smile.
When John went into memory care, Mike stopped in to see him regularly, several times a week, bearing coffee, donuts, and other treats. Mike never abandoned his friend. That is all anyone needs to know to know Mike.
I am happy thinking John and Mike are together playing pool. It´s the definition of "heaven" for John, to be playing pool with Mike, drinking martinis (for John) or Cosmos (for Mike), and eating big slices of pizza! I´m sure family and friends join them. I hold that image in my heart.
Love you -- to Amy, Carla, Tyson, and Alyssa,
My best to you all, Eleanor

**In Loving Memory of Mr. Michael Antonino**
Though I never had the honor of knowing Mr. Antonino personally, I feel his presence deeply through the love and admiration of his daughter, Carla. She carries his name and legacy with unwavering pride, a testament to the incredible father he was. The light in her eyes whenever she spoke of him reflected the depth of their bond-a love so profound, it transcends even this heartbreaking loss.
As someone who lost their father at an early age, I have always admired the love Mr. Antonino had for Carla. He was the epitome of what a father should be-devoted, strong, and endlessly loving. His impact will forever live on in the kindness and strength Carla shares with the world.
My heart is with Carla and the Antonino family during this unimaginable time. May his memory be a guiding light, and may you find comfort in the love he so selflessly gave.
With deepest sympathy and love,
Drea

My dearest Carla, Sending my deepest condolences to you and your family at this time of sorrow. I know how much your father has meant to you and how proud you are that he was the man, father and husband that he has shown you to be. You and his family were his pride and joy and his legacy will forever live on and not be forgotten. I am so thankful that I had the chance to have shared in your memories throughout your adult life and get to celebrate the love you shared and to be able to say you are your father's daughter. Nothing will ever make this better, but he will forever be in your heart, and may he rest in peace and you and the family find strength in each other to help honor and mend broken hearts. I love you so much and wish I could take your pain. I pray for you always and honor your father for his service and for his contribution to the world. Sending many blessings and love. God Bless you always.

Aunt Amy & family, I am so sorry for the loss of this amazing, kind, loving, funny man. He was special in so many ways. He always made me laugh & was so easy going, even when he was teaching me how to play pool or give me some crazy riddle to remember. He was so proud of his old flip phone & loved sharing his spicy food and hot peppers to see my reaction but always provided chocolate after. I thoroughly enjoyed all our time together, especially watching Mike & Amy dance whenever there was a good song playing. Look out if "Mony, Mony " came on! He will be sorely missed. It was a privilege knowing you Mike and we will love you always.

Amy, Carla, Tyson and Alyssa, I am so sorry for your loss. Mike was such a great guy and a pleasure to be around. I really enjoyed golfing and playing pool with him. He always had new jokes to share. I took one Spinning class with him and I couldn't walk for 3 days. He didn't warn me that it was a 90 minute class. I never did Pilates with him, but he showed me a few moves to practice when we went to the gym. Mike, you will be missed, but your memory will live on, Rest in Peace.

Amy and Carla, we are so sorry for your loss. Mike was a great guy! Through the years, every so often when I was still teaching (and my last name was still Antonino) someone would ask me "Do you know a Mike Antonino?" They´d usually have met him during one of his surveying jobs, and they´d always have such positive things to say about how genuinely nice of a guy he was. And friendly. Then at a school reunion once, a former student of mine (a serious jock) asked me the same question. When I asked him if he had met Mike while Mike was surveying, he pulled me aside and shyly whispered "no, he was my Pilates instructor- I´ve been doing that lately for stress reduction and he´s awesome at it!" (Or was it yoga? Either way, it takes a special kind of guy to make such a positive impression on everyone he meets!) He will be missed and the two of you will be in our thoughts.

We were all cousins and I´m grateful to have been born into such a large family. A family like that will never be replaced. Each loss takes away a piece of the puzzle that that, to me, was best exemplified with the crowd we had back in Humarock. I´ll miss Cousin Mike.
