Obituary
In Loving memory of Louis Antonelli. March 26, 1925 – Dec 16, 2013. Louie peacefully let go of his daughters and granddaughters hands, as he reached out to take his wife, Maxine’s hand once again. Louie was a loving attentive husband to his wife of close to 70 years. He was a devoted and supportive Father and grandfather. He came to the States from Morrone, Italy where he was born. Most of his life he was raised in Gerorgetown in Seattle. Throughout Louie’s life he wore many different hats. He was a proud sailor, serving in the Navy. He was a part time bartender at Rudy’s Italian restaurant in Seattle, part time reserve police officer for the Des Moines Police Dept, worked also for Longacres Race Track as a security guard. In the 1960’s Louie was a Seattle Seafair Pirate for a couple years. Then he moved up after being elected to serve as Captain Kidd for the Seattle Seafair Pirates. Louie is predeceased by his mother, Angeline Pompeo, brother Dominic Antonelli, and sister Mary Kane. He is survived by his two daughters Linda William, Terry Rodriguez, five grand children, six great grand children, brother John Pompeo, and brother in-law Frank Kane. Louie will be remembered for his love and gracious friendship. He will be missed by all.
Dad, today. we are here with heavy hearts. We will miss you so much. Our comfort through our loss is that you and Mom are together again. Thank you for being such a blessing in all our lives.. Thank you for being the best Dad that you possibly could.
Dearest Linda, Terry and family,
I was saddened to hear of your dad’s passing, but know he is content being with your mom again. Your dad and mom were wonderful people that raised two very beautiful and kind daughters. I know you and your family and friends must be grieving immeasurably and we are so sorry for what you are having to endure. Please know our arms are around you in spirit and that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Our love to both of you, your children and grandchildren and extended family.
With deepest sympathy for your loss, Pat Hellekson and family.
Rest In paradise Grandpa… I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. You will continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Your love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared your love.
Grandpa I wish I was sitting down to your
Spaghetti dinner instead of signing this guest book
I will forever cherish wonderful memories of
being your granddaughter. Remember when
You told me not to carry all the pies from the car
inside the house but I did it anyway and dropped
them all. You Said you weren’t mad But you know me, always wanting to show off 🙂 I remember you telling me you
Wish you could hold Grandmas hand again.. Now
You are.. I miss you xo
The most painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said. Those we hold closest never leave us, they live on in the love they brought into our lives. Rip Grandpa I miss you.
I miss you my sweet Daddy. You were such a special Joy.
You were a sweet wonderful father and extra special person.
I know you are relaxed and happy with Mommy now.
You will always be in my heart and in my memories.
We had good special times and I will miss them and your happy hugs. You will always be in my heart and I will always have the extra special memories of are special time and outings together. I love you Daddy.
Dear Grandpa,
There are no goodbyes from this girl. I know we will meet again someday and we will pick right back up where we left off. You are one of my favorite people. There was always a hug and a smile waiting for us when we visited. So much love. Thank you for being so involved in our life. You and Grandma were always there. For Graduations, Weddings, Births or just a call saying hello. I will always treasure those moments. That’s what makes memories.
These past few days have been so bitter sweet. So sad for us us but so happy for everyone at the otherside of your door. Those who have been waiting in line to greet you. That warms my soul. I just wish I could put my ear upon the door and see if I could hear what they might be saying to you. I bet my dad would say… Louie what took you so long. Your mom would be sitting you down for dinner and your wife would be running into your arms and never letting go.
My heart is full and then the saddness passes. I know now there is no pain, no saddness no longing for your love and you can be free to dance one again and spread those beautiful wings and fly.
I am blowing you a kiss my sweet grandpa. I hope you are able to catch it. Now there is peace and calm for you forever.
Seize the day! You will always be in my heart. Love you so much.
P.S. I am a lucky woman to have had my children share moments with their great grandpa. They thought you were one cool great grandpa.
XO XO Love Kimmy
Dear Grandpa,
You were a very nice guy and I will always cherish the cute duck. I know now you are not in pain and you and grandma are together again. That makes me :). I love you. Logan
Dear Grandpa,
I am so sad that you had to go to heaven. I know that Grandma will be so excited to see you. Thank you for all the good times. Thank you for letting me sit on your walker with you. That was always so much fun. I will cherish all my stuffed animals that you shared with me and my brother. We are taking extra good care of them. We will miss you but you are in our hearts forever and nobody can take that away from us. Hugs and kisses to you. I love you. Jillian
It’s hard to sit here and read this guestbook, even harder to write in it. While I only had met you a handful of times I know that in those times I was blessed to have even had those times. You were a wonderful man, a loving husband, father, brother, grandfather, an overall wonderful person who touched many lives. I can only be happy knowing you are finally reunited with your beautiful wife whom I had the honor of knowing as well. I never like to say goodbye, but instead until later. One day we will all be together again in the same place. RIP Louie
My Dearest Sweet Uncle Louie, you are such a gentle caring soul. When I would see you, you always embraced me with the Hug that always reminded me of my Dad. I could feel my Dad through you. I guess its a “Antonelli” Hug. Now you are in Heaven along side with Auntie Maxine and I am sure she is being given that “Antonelli” Hug. You will really be celebrating a wonderful Christmas surrounded by Family that have been waiting for you. You are such a wonderful Uncle and I am thankful you were mine. Rest in Peace Uncle Louie.
I will always have fond memories of Uncle Louie and Aunt Maxine. I was so proud as a kid that Uncle Louie was a pirate. May he rest in peace with the others in heaven.
