PRINCETON - Charles G. Antul, 81, peacefully passed away on Thursday, February 29, 2024, at The Oasis at Dodge Park Nursing Center in Worcester. Born in Worcester, he was the son of the late Paul W. Antul Sr. and Bernice B. (Bojarski) Antul.
Charlie was a graduate of North High School before proudly serving as a distinguished veteran in the United States Army 82nd Airborne division from 1963 - 1966. Upon honorable discharge Charlie began a successful career in industrial management working for Norton Co., located in Worcester, where he was employed for over 34 years before his retirement in 1996. Charlie then transitioned to a part time position as a courier for Spectrum Rehabilitation Services for an additional 22 years.
Charlie will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 40 years, Carol A. Sawyer; his two sons, Kenneth C. Antul (Helen) of Berkley, and Brian P. Antul (Brenda) of Worcester; two stepchildren, Christopher M. Sawyer of Jamaica Plain and Shannon Sawyer Blomstrom (Rich) of Northampton; his four sisters, Paula Antul of Pomfret, CT and Pamela Antul Bulat (Paul) of Brooklyn, CT, Debra Patchak (Bill) of Jackson, MI and Lorene Filgerleski (Mark) of Gilbertville.
Charlie was preceded in death by his brother Paul W. Antul Jr. (Barbara) of Worcester. Charlie continues his legacy through his four beloved grandchildren, Connor B. Antul, Caitlyn M. Antul, Sydney H. Blomstrom and Emma R. Blomstrom.
Beyond his family and work, Charlie took pride in collecting classic automobiles, attending cruise nights, dining out at local restaurants with his wife, fishing with his father and sons, spending time outside gardening, hiking in the woods with his beloved dogs, coffee in the mornings with the Dunkin crew and generously helping anyone in need.
Charlie's family would like to thank the nurses with Oasis at Dodge Park for their care towards Charlie during his time with them.
