Obituary of Antonio Ciccarelli

ANTONIO CICCARELLI BORN SEPTEMBER 29, 1944 OF 78 YEARS OF AGE DIED PEACEFULLY ON OCTOBER 4, 2022. HE WAS FORMERLY FROM MONSORETO REGGIO CALABRIA, ITALY; WHEN IN APRIL OF 1985 HE MOVED TO MOUNT KISCO, NEW YORK. HE IS SURVIVED BY HIS WIFE OF SIXTY ONE YEARS, DOMENICA, HIS CHILDREN MICHELINA (CARMELO VELARDO), GIUSEPPE (NANCY LATELLA CICCARELLI) AND CONCETTINA (VINCENZO TALARICO), HIS GRANDCHILDREN AND HIS GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN. HE IS PREDECEASED BY HIS PARENTS, GIUSEPPE CICCARELLI AND MICHELINA CHINDAMO; WITH HIS BROTHERS RAFFAELE AND ROCCO. HE HAS WORKED ALL HIS LIFE, STARTING WITH THE "GALLARIE" IN ITALY AS A FOREMAN TO WORKING ALONG WITH HIS SON GIUSEPPE IN THE LANDSCAPING BUSINESS. HE MOVED THE FAMILY HERE TO BE WITH HIS OLDEST DAUGHTER MICHELINA. HE KEPT HIS FAMILY CLOSE TO HIM – HE HAD A QUIET DEMEANOR BUT ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS LOOK AT YOU AND YOU UNDERSTOOD HOW MUCH HE LOVED YOU. HE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE, A "BATTUTA" TO TELL YOU AND AN INFECTIOUS LAUGH. HE JUST BRIGHTENED OUR DAY. HE LOVED SPENDING TIME WITH HIS FAMILY, PLAYING LOTTO AND SCRATCH OFF TICKETS EVERY FRIDAY AND ON HIS IPAD WATCHING THE SOCCER GAMES. WE ARE ALL SO MUCH BETTER FOR HAVING HIM IN OUR LIVES WHETHER FOR MANY YEARS OR FOR A FEW SHORT MOMENTS. HE IS NOW WATHCHING OVER US WITH ALL THOSE THAT WERE WAITING FOR HIM. MAY HE REST IN PEACE – HE WILL BE SORELY MISSED – THERE ARE NO WORDS BUT SO MUCH LOVE.
