Antoine Claude Aristilde was born on December 11th, 1943 on Second Section Fabias, in Marchand-Dessalines, Haiti. The only son to his late mother, Saint-Anise Aristilde; as a child Antoine grew up with his grandfather, Lessage Aristilde.
He attended school at Satellite Elementary Gilbert and later on matriculated to High School at Lycee Jeffra in Gonaives, Haiti.
In search of a better life and more opportunities, Antoine migrated to the United States in 1969. Shortly after arrival, he found his first job with the Leslie Controls Company in Parsippany, New Jersey. There he grew and learned in his many roles as a dedicated employee. However, his passion for entrepreneurship led him to take a leap of faith and start his own taxi business until his health drove him into retirement.
Antoine battled a number of health issues in his later years, but he was a strong man who fought a good fight until the end. On Thursday evening, March 29th, 2018, Antoine went to be with the Lord. He will be greatly missed by his children, family and abundance of friends.
