Memories and Condolences
for Julius Cicchini

Not sure what to say?





Julio was a family friend for nearly two decades and what began as a business relationship developed into a close and dear friendship. My late husband, Richard and I shared happy memories with Julio and Anne. Julio had a personality bigger than life and when my husband passed away, he was a source of comfort and encouragement. I cannot believe that he is gone and can only imagine the unbearable pain that his family is experiencing. As a man of honor, integrity, a pillar of society and deep spirituality he passes on an amazing legacy. In closing I recall his humorous side in a remark he recently made: When I get to heaven I'll be flying around with these huge wings. I like to think that he is looking down on us now smiling and saying: It's only for a while that we must part, so bless the memories within your heart.

Julius was full of kindness and love. He was always genuinely interested to know how you were doing and always the first person to offer help for people that needed it, though he never wanted the credit. He was a credit to St. Joe's and De La Salle and those of us at the school that knew him will sincerely miss him. We always felt stronger when Julius was with us. My condolences to his family ... I hope that you take comfort in knowing what a kind man he was and how, clearly, he was so proud of you all.

It is with great sadness that we have learned of our friend, Julio's, passing. We knew him through St. Joe's as Gene is a grad, Class of '51. We have always known Julio as a kind and generous man who was everyone's friend. The highest compliment one can give
another is that "he was a good man" That he certainly was!

Please accept our sincerest sympathy,

Barbara and Gene Miller

It has probably been 40 years since I last saw Mr. Cicchini, but I still remember him vividly as a very kind man who loved his family and showed great respect to others. Even though I was only 11 or 12 at the time, he always made me feel very welcome in his home. My condolences to Mark, Linda, Michael, Jamie and your respective families. I'm sorry I'm not able to attend the service for your dad, but I will be there in spirit. With your dear mom, he raised a wonderful family that I've always admired and enjoyed. Love to you all,

As neighbors and one time traveling companions (St. Hubert's Rome trip), Ray and Helen Randall always spoke highly and fondly of Julio.
Sue and Jerry Berger, Randalls' daughter and son-in-law, will always appreciate Julio's warmth and sage advice regarding maintaining our next door home.
Mandy and Nate Weber, Randalls' granddaughter and husband, will always remember Julio's warm welcome when they moved in next door, and his grandfatherly fondness for their children.
Julio touched the lives of 4 generations, and will not be forgotten.
Our sincere condolences to his family. He spoke so often about his love for you all.

Dad I miss you so much! You were the kindest and most loving man in my life next to my husband. You have always been there for us and we are lost without you. We really need your strength to carry on without you. You were the best grandpa I have ever seen! The love in your eyes for them is the best thing I have ever witnessed. This is the worst pain I have ever gone through. I love you dad more than you know

Julius was one of the nicest men I ever did business with at the Road Commission...kind and courteous. Then I had the pleasure of seeing his smiling face in church on Sunday when I was a member of St. Huberts. He will be missed.

Although I didn't know your father, Mark, I respect and admire you immensely. As classmates, we shared a love of music which we both still hold so very close to our hearts. I'm sure your father was very proud of you. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Sending love and hugs.

My deepest sympathy to all of Julio's family. He was one of the most kind and generous people I know. I worked for years with him when I worked for Guerino Palmer and Joe Frank in the Conduit department. We had many great lunches downtown at the Roma Café. Julio, Ann, & I met for lunch and after Ann's passing Julio and I would meet for dinner every so often. I was worried that he might not be doing so well because his Christmas card this year didn't mention getting together and I could tell his handwriting was starting to decline.

I know he's in heaven enjoying Ann, Father O'Leary, and many of our friends that have passed on.

Rest in peace dear friend.

Love,
Carol
