So sorry to learn of this. My condolences. I also went to Power Memorial in the 1960s and still remember his performance there in Edward Albee’s “The Zoo Story.” I saw his musical “Dance Wi’ Me” at The Public Theater in 1971 and spoke with him afterwards.

GREG, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I WILL BE THINKING OF YOU WHILE I AM WATCHING THE SUPER BOWL! WE SAW SUPER BOWL 1 TOGETHER,REMEMBER?             VINNIE PIROSO  PORT CHARLOTTE, FLORIDA

I miss you each day. I wake and each day I go to phone you. I know you are no longer in pain and in the most beautiful place imagined.The Lord took you home and I wasn't ready. 
I know you are with Daddy and mamma, uncle Tony and all our family whom have gone before.
Each day my pain becomes less, but my heart is still broken.  I just marked off the calendar the day I was to come up to be with you. .  Like Daddy and mamma would say it's not goodbye it's until we meet again.

Mr.Antonacci, I enjoyed your acting on T.V. in the 1970's and 80's namely Laverne and Shirley. Rockford Files, you were great. Thanks for the wonderful memories, unfortunately you are part of the older actors I admire that we are losing to soon.

I met Mr. Antonacci while delivering Chinese food to his house. As a fan of the Soprano's, I was absolutely star struck when he opened the door. You couldn't meet a nicer man.  My condolences to the family.

my condolences to Gregorys family .  I loved his work he did in all of his show. The little guy will be missed

Sorry for your loss. Love him in several things including The Sopranos. Ahh salute.

Fantastic actor, my sincere condolences to his family and friends

This great actor was a key guy in the last episodes of TheSopranos. In Boardwalk Empire, he knocked it out of the park. Thoughts and Prayers to his family.

Gregory, you were a favorite and played your part to the hilt. God love you and your family. This is a shocker buddy. You will be sorely missed.

Greg and I never worked together but became friends at the race track and eventually owned some horses together. He was a terrific guy, as decent as they come. We had a lot of laughs and I have only the fondest memories of him.

He was a fine character actor who brought depth and humanity to his roles. He was taken from us too young, and my deepest sympathy to his loved ones.

I just saw the announcement today in the DGA magazine.  Greg and I worked together many times over the years.  He was talented, determined, hard-headed but also a damn good shortstop on our softball team.  My condolences to all his family.

Gary and I just read this in the DGA magazine and cried. We loved Greg! Both of us worked with him and only remember him as one of the good guys! I am so saddened! I only hope he did not suffer and his family knows how much people loved him!

So sorry to hear about Greg.  He gave me my first job at Paramount.  And my step dad, Paul Price, and he were actors in Bustin' Loose in the late 70's.  He was a very talented man. I'm grateful that he gave me a job.  Good memories from "Brothers" and beyond.  My condolences to his family.  -Sara Kezer Kimbell 

I went to college with Greg, and followed his career long after graduation, touching base once in a while along the journey.  I literally just found out today that he passed away in September.  Even as a young man, he was brimming with talent and energy.  We always knew he was going places, and I'm glad he did.  His performances in key programs were iconic.  My deep condolences to his family and friends.

I was lucky enough to meet and hang with him for a Night at the AC B.EMpire Premier. He was a great Guy

I never knew this man, but I know he gave me many hours of wonderful entertainment with his supurb acting skills. I am sad to learn of his passing.  Rest in peace . 

Very sad to here about mr antonacci passing away had interaction on the phone with him about 6 months ago he couldnt be any nicer to me. I remember him from watching him on laverne and shirley and busting loose,we spoke a little about horse racing at bay meadows in california.From all the great things that have been written on the guest book by family and friends I would like to say im deeply sorry to the Costanza and Antonacci family,and a man so great you have to believe you will see him again.GOD BLESS HIM!

Uncle Greg, It's hard to compartmentalize a life into an entry a few words, but I'll always remember your humor and kindness, your generosity and love. 

I remember being 9 (or so) and watching the VHS tapes of laverne and shirley grandma had next to her TV because you were in them; I remember going to your house in California and riding the roller-coasters and pushing and laughing in between drops; buying Beth a new tire because she took me driving for the first time and I hit a curb; how we'd talk about writing and acting, how you took what I said seriously; how on my 17th birthday you bought me Stephen King's book on writing (which i still have) - I remember going to your house when you first moved to LI for dinner and you showing me where you worked and the framed quote from Balzac about writing -- but most of all how you were always nice to Marianne and John and Ana.

I'll miss you and I hope you're at peace. Love Johnny

I will always remember when I walked into the room and Grandpa said with a huge smile the Yankees are in first place and he shook his fist in celebration.

WE were happy and thankful to have known Greg. We shall miss him.

Schlaf in Frieden Greg, ich denke an Dich
Helga

My condolences to you & your family, I will keep your Dad in my prayers,along with his cousion [ Dolly ] . I know he will be greatly missed by one & all who knew him, [ including myself ] may  He  R.I.P.
 Love  cousion  Peter  Campofiori

Our thoughts & prayers are with you & your family.  It was a pleasure to have known you.

Dear Dad,  Thank you for giving me one of your most precious gifts,  Beth Ellen.  I will forever remember how you accepted me with open arms as a son.  Thank you for enriching my life in so many ways.  I love you and will always miss you.  Love you Pop.

We were blessed to be able to know and share memories with Greg. We are thankful to have known him. We are so sorry for the tremendous loss. We pray God comforts your hearts and soul.  Much love, thoughts and prayers to you all!

I'll never forget how much fun I had drawing with my grandpa and how funny he was.

The time of separation from our loved ones is a difficult one and we are so sorry for the loss of our dear Greg. But as we reflect on the times we shared at family events we are so thankful for the many memories with him that brought laughter and joy to our hearts. May God sooth your hearts and souls during this time and in the weeks to come by bringing back to your memory all of those precious times. We love you and are praying for you to be comforted by the one and only true comforter.

I honestly don't even know where to start. It's hard to accept that you are not here but I know you are no longer in pain and you are in God's arms now. I can still hear you calling me Benj... No one else called me that, just you! To say I'm going to miss you and your charm, soft spoken voice and loving heart, is just an understatement... I love you Uncle Greg, and I will miss you dearly. Dylan was asking about you today! I feel like I was too... I've always looked up to you. You gave me advice that helped me in so many situations in my life. Thank you. I wish we spent a little more time together but I have so many memories with you that I will cherish for the rest of my life. You're one of my favorite people in this world. You were our softball coach, and I know how much you loved baseball, unfortunately we were horrible! I remember how proud you were when B was pitching underhand in the driveway. She was amazing because you taught her everything and pushed her to be great. It was amazing to see how much you loved your family, your dogs and your career. That was so inspiring for me. I know in life, if I'm half the man you were, I will have made it in life. RIP Uncle Greg, I love you and will miss you everyday. Benj, Dylan, Lea and Lauren
