Anthony L. Chalk

AGE: 86 • Berlin

Anthony L. Chalk age 86 of Berlin suddenly passed away on June 13, 2019, surrounded by his family. He lived in Berlin and was a devoted and loving husband of over 55 years to the late Barbara Chalk (nee Pirolli).

He is predeceased by his parents Angelo and Anna Chalk (Rossi), his brother Henry Teti ( Millie ) and sisters Carol Pastore ( Dave ) and Cynthia Yannette (Frank).

He is survived by his three daughters, Lisa Kilburg (Ray), Carolyn Parlin (Brad) and Denise Schmidt (Jim) and grandchildren Raymond, Nicholas, Jared, Eric, Carolyn and A.J.

Anthony is an army veteran having served in the Koren War.

Anthony enjoyed vacationing and spending time with his girls and grandkids. He was known as “Pop” to the grandkids and their friends. Although he didn’t change diapers he acted as a “chauffeur”, picking up the grandkids up and getting them to their many activities. The grandkids enjoyed sitting around Pop and listening to stories of how things have changed since he was a child. As an animal lover, Pop was the designated dog sitter to Kobe, Miley, Milton, Bella, Rosco and Paisley. Pop was predeceased by his dog Wigi and his furry grandkids Spunky, Dominique, Madison, Carmine, Louie and Buddy.

His love of golf was evidenced by him gifting each of his grandkids a personalized set of golf clubs. His love of golf was also evident in his decorating style. A putter or two and golf balls could be found in every room in his house. Pop also enjoyed trap shooting with his grandchildren.

Anthony was a true patriach, always there to guide his family, offer advice or a listening ear. Maintaining many lifetime friendships he was a loyal friend.
