Antonio Lai

September 6, 1935 - October 5, 2020

Antonio Lai, age 85, passed away in Riverton, Utah on October 5, 2020. He was born in Sardinia, Italy on September 6, 1935. Antonio will be remembered for his love of Italy, his kindness and willingness to help others. He always had a smile on his face and a joke on his lips. Antonio's indomitable spirit encouraged his family to persist in the face of many struggles. He was a reserved man and lived a simplistic and humble life. He loved watching game shows, Three’s Company and playing the lottery. Antonio enjoyed eating spaghetti, T-bone steaks, cheeseburgers and French fries. He had a sweet tooth also-especially for chocolate chip cookies. He moved to Chicago, Illinois from Italy in 1973. He resided in Utah for the past 6 years. Thank you to all the caregivers who helped him throughout the years. He was preceded in death by his former wife in 1998, Carole Lois DuChatellier Lai, and survived by their daughter, Carla Lai. Antonio loved his only daughter immensely. I will always love you Dad, you will be missed greatly, but not forgotten. Arrangements are under the direction of Wiscombe Memorial.
