He was the son of the late Walter P. and Helen (Barisas) Kachanis, Sr. Besides his wife, he is survived by his much loved son, Michael, his brother Walter and his wife Ginny of Cranston, his sister Bernadette Savoie of North Kingstown, his sister Mary-Ellen Kachanis of NY, his mother in law Salomeja Perminas, sister in law Neringa Perminas Atkinson and many nieces and nephews. He was also the brother of the late Thomas Kachanis. Tony was a veteran of the US Army and fought proudly in the Vietnam War for the country he loved so much. Before his illness, Tony was a school teacher with the Warwick School Dept. for 30 years. Although he was a man of few words, his kindness and generosity spoke volumes. His sense of humor was contagious. He loved his country home, but willingly and gladly spent the last few years of his life taking care of his mother in law who has Alzheimers in Providence. He felt it was his duty and a privilege to do that. He will be missed by many. He touched so many lives.
