Anthony Chinino Obituary

Dear Chinino Family,

I am very sad to hear of Tony's passing. I am one of five cousins from New York. I spoke to him in 2006. He was warm and friendly as if we had communicated all of our lives. He spoke of his family especially his boys so lovingly. I remember him on family visits as just a nice young man who loved to laugh and pull pranks on us.

I am happy that I spoke to him and wished we got together to visit with him and his family.

My deepest sympathy to you and the entire Chinino family. Please pass on my sympathy to everyone.

Music, when soft voices die

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

Dear Chinino Family

My deepest sympathy to you on Tony's passing. I grew up across the steet from Tony on Aberdeen Street in Chicago. I was always impressed with Tony's happy and jovial personality and his extemely generous nature. We are all enriched for having known Tony.

We are so sorry for your loss. Tony gave his all to the Raiders Football Program. He was a joy to work with in the concession stand. May the love of family and friends carry you through this difficult time.

Aunt Lynn, Cousin Tony and Brian,

Our deepest sympathy and condolensces for our family's loss of a husband, father and uncle. Even though we are many miles away, We mourn. We know he would not want any of us to shed tears, but to remember the great times we all shared during his life and smile and laugh.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

We will always remember our Christmas Nabisco care packages, bus trips to Champaign and the countless numbers of concerts but most of all we will thank him for leaving us with his son Tony who is his legacy. The Chinino’s are a family that have never judged others they accept you for who you are no matter what. You could count on them to be there for you any time day or night. That family was lead by a great man and his loss will be felt for years to come but his comicality will live on forever. We are deeply sorry to hear of your loss and our prayers will be with your family.

Rest in peace, old friend.

So very sorry to hear about Tony. He was such a joy to work with at the World Music Theater and at Soldier Field. My best memories of him are on the bus trips down to Champaign for the Bears games. He made us laugh, brought movies, and always got something better to eat than those awful box lunches. He will be greatly missed.

Lynn, Tony, Brian & Family

Our Condolences to you on this very sad day. Tony is one of the nicest, most kind hearted Men we will ever meet. He was always there for me and my family when in need of anything. We will miss Tony Dearly. I will miss not being able to just pick up the phone and call Tony with a question or a concern, most of all just to chat. I am at peace knowing Tony is in God's hands now and will no longer suffer, May god bless and keep you always...

Love: Ken, Felicia, David, Dezirae,
