After a courageous battle with cancer, Andrew Antalik, 68, of Milford, CT peacefully entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, May 27, 2015 surrounded by the love of his family.
He leaves behind his beloved wife of 48 years, Barbara Antalik; his daughter, Eileen Antalik of Milford, CT; his daughter Christine Antalik of West Haven, CT; his son, Michael Edward (Jennifer) Antalik of Orange, CT; and his two dearly loved grandchildren, Elizabeth Joan and Timothy Andrew Antalik.
Born on April 20, 1947 in Bridgeport, CT, he was the son of the late Andrew Leo and Mary Posh Antalik and brother to the late Carol Aliberti. In addition to being survived by his wife, children, grandchildren, and grandpup, he is also survived by his brothers Richard and Ronald Antalik, and numerous nieces and nephews.
“Rusty”, as he was known since childhood by his family and friends, proudly dedicated 22 years of service to the City of Milford in the Public Works Department as a painter. He remained a tireless and dedicated employee throughout the length of his illness and could often be seen painting the landmarks of the city he served so well.
Rusty was a dedicated husband and father. As “Gramps”, he thoroughly loved and enjoyed his grandchildren and taught them to love the wonderful World of Disney as much as he and his wife did. His legacy of hard work and family dedication will live on through his children and grandchildren.
For those wishing to pay their respect, calling hours will be held Sunday, May 31st from 3-7 pm at Cody-White Funeral Home, 107 Broad Street, Milford, CT. A Catholic funeral mass will be held Monday, June 1st at 10:30 am at Saint Mary Church, 70 Gulf Street, Milford, CT. Interment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The Connecticut Hospice, Inc., 100 Double Beach Road, Branford, CT 06405, which provided a comforting and loving level of care and support for Rusty and his family during the final days of his illness.
