In the 1900 census of Salem he was living with his widowed mother and five of his siblings at 13 March Stret and was employed as a "Morocco dresser." Morocco leather is a fine leather made from goatskin and dressers tanned the leather. He was likely employed by a shoe factory.

In the 1910 census of Salem he was still living with his mother and five siblings at 13 Rust Street, and worked as a plumber for the railroad. The 1910 and 1912 city directories of Salem listed a James Donahue living at that address as being a shoe worker.

On 12 September 1918 he signed his World War I draft registration card, which gave his birthdate. It gave his "Place of Employment or Business" as the Salem House of Corrections. It is uncertain whether that means he was an inmate or was employed there. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy on 4 Apr 1917 and served as a Fireman 3rd Class, being discharged on 7 Sep 1917.

In 1930 he was single and living with his mother and step-father at 12 Osgood Street in Salem, and working as a street railway laborer.

Death*Charles died of a massive pulmonary hemorrhage on 16 November 1966 at the VA Hospital in Brockton, Plymouth County, MassachusettsG. The hemorrhage was due to bronco-pneumonia and pulmonary berylliosis and tuberculosis. Berylliosis is caused by exposure to fluorescent light bulbs (which used to contain beryllium compounds), so perhaps this occurred during his years working for Sylvania.2

His obituary appeared in the 28 November 1955 AMESBURY, Nov. 28 -- Anthony "Tony" Tassinari, 38, head football coach at Amesbury High school since 1943, died unexpectedly of a heart attack yesterday. Tassinari, who was regarded as one of the state's top schoolboy coaches, was a star lineman at Salem High under Bill Broderick and at Boston college, where he played for Frank Leahy. He was a member of the 1939 and 1940 B.C. teams that went on to the Cotton and Sugar Bowls, respectively. He also was a member of the 1933 Salem High football team that played against Urban academy at Los Angeles, Calif., on Christmas day that year.
STRICKEN AT GAME. He attended the Boston college-Holy Cross game Saturday and was apparently well. It was learned, however, that he had suffered a heart attack during the third period of the Thanksgiving Day football game at Newburyport and insisted on remaining at the game, although a physician advised that he go home. He was stricken at his home at 3 A.M. and was ordered removed by ambulance to Amesbury hospital two hours later. He died at 5:20 A.M. He lived at 8 Essex street with his wife, Elizabeth (Burkinshaw) Tassinari, and their five children. Mrs. Tassinari is an expectant mother. Tassinari came to Amesbury early in 1943 on recommendation of a former Amesbury High coach, Charley Broderick, who has been coaching football at Leominster High the past 25 years.
TEAMS WON 75. In 13 seasons his Amesbury High teams won 75 games, lost 40 and tied four. He experienced considerable success with the single-wing formation. His team won the state Class C championship in 1951 and played a post-season game in the Exchange Bowl at Lynn. That year saw his club beat arch-rival Newburyport, 99 to 6, on Thanksgiving Day. It was a game in which everything went wrong for Newburyport and Amesbury was actually helpless to keep the score down. He also coached baseball and basketball, but had given up the latter. Three years ago he obtained a master's degree in education at Calvin Coolidge college in Boston. Interested in municipal affairs he was a member of the town planning board and last October he was elected a town meeting representative. He was a member of St. Joseph's church, Amesbury Council K. of C., the New England Football Officials' association, Massachusetts Coaches association, Boston College Alumni club and Amesbury Classroom Teachers association.
NATIVE OF PEABODY. He was born in Peabody, the son of Jose'h and Amadea (Petezani) Tassinari, who survive him. Besides his parents and his wife, he leaves two son, Anthony, 12, and Charles, 2; three daughters, Mary, 11, Susan, 9, and Elizabeth, 7; five brothers, Peter and David of California; Gerald and Philip of Salem; and Joseph of Phoenix, Ariz., and three sisters, Mrs. Edith Giabbai of Danvers; Rev. Sister Mary Gemma, M.M., of Pakistan; and Mrs. Patricia Caruso, a Fullbright exchange teacher, now in Italy. The funeral will be Wednesday with a solemn high mass of requiem at 10 P.M. in St. Joseph's church. Burial will be in St. Joseph's cemetery. and read as follows.7
