Chris Hantz, a driver for longtime CTA member, Antonini Freight Express, Inc. of Lathrop, Ca., is doing something very courageous and bold on May 30, 2017.  Chris is donating a kidney to his father, Joe Casale.  Joe, a resident of Mott, North Dakota has been fighting kidney disease for the past 3 years and on dialysis for the past 15 months.  A retired electrician, Joe has been on a donor transplant list for the past 2 years and has found no suitable donor.  Chris is the only family member who tested as a match for his father’s kidney replacement.

 

Chris summed up his thoughts very succinctly in saying "I love my job and trucking however the love for my father cannot be matched".  Everyone at the Antonini companies wishes Chris and his father the best of luck and encourage others to follow Chris’ path if the opportunity arises.
