Antonio

Garcia

At 65 years of age, Antonio Gracia passed away at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston on Friday, September 20th after a brief decline of health.

Born and raised in Havana Cuba, he settled in Chelsea over 40 years ago as a young man and resided in Chelsea for all that time.  He worked as a kitchen and catering assistant for Rita's Catering.  Antonio was a quite unassuming individual who enjoyed being at home, following the Red Sox, and Patriots.  He was always ready to lend a hand to help friends and those in need.

He was predeceased by his longtime friend and companion Edith Reid. He is survived by many loving extended family and friends.

All services for Antonio were private.
