Artesani, Charles, Jr. of West Roxbury, formerly of Allston and Chestnut Hill. Chuck was the beloved son of The Honorable Charles J. (Chick) and Helen (Cusack) Artesani of Allston and Chestnut Hill. Loving husband of more than 52 years to Nancy (Delaney). Brother to Donna Selesky and her husband Joe of Michigan and predeceased by siblings Linda Deschenes (husband John) of Dedham, Mary Artesani of South Boston, and David Artesani of Newton. Father to CJ Artesani and his wife Kate of Norton, Greg Artesani of West Roxbury, and Sarah Brown and her husband Donny of Dedham. He was the extremely proud grandfather to Charlie and Colin Artesani, Kendall, Ainsley and Thomas Brown. Chuck leaves behind many close family members and friends from all points of his life.
Chuck was a graduate of BC High, Boston College and Suffolk Law School. He maintained a law practice for over 50 years in Boston. Chuck was a working man’s Renaissance man – he enjoyed a good cocktail and conversation, a good book, a long walk, traveling with his beautiful wife, cheering on Boston College football and basketball as a long-time season ticket holder, golfing at Norfolk Golf Club for over 35 years, ski trips in winter, trips to Tanglewood in summer and, in more recent years, attending his grandkids’ sporting events. He loved a good party and a good joke, although often took his time getting to the punchline.
