Dad, Its been 4 years since you passed away and that time remains etched in my mind. A tough time for all of us. I know I still miss you as much as I did back then. I think about you and mom everyday and everything you gave to us. When visiting the cemetery today to see my momma and papa, I am thankful for all I experienced and learned from both of you. We had a good run. It still hurts every moment I think of both of you, even if it has been 23 years or just 4. Seems like yesterday in my heart. Love you guys.
Jim.

Pop as I write to you upon Mom's birthday, I cannot wonder the time you guys are having. Pop as I am in work I sing church songs and think how great they times were when I would come as visit and we would go to church. The feeling I get when that happens shows me how much you are missed. Its been three years since the Lord wanted you and every day we are reminded of that. Pop, I hope you and Mom are dancing like you were younger. You guys are missed every day. Thanks for the memories of going down the shore on vacation. They are some of the best times in my lifetime. Mom and Dad, I love you and miss you, John.

It's been three years since you left us. It hasn't been easy, that's for sure. I think about you everyday. What could we have done differently? What could life be if things worked out? I won't dwell on that, it was your time to move on and I'm okay with that now. I think about the times we had and how much our families meant to you. I'm sure that you are proud of what you have left behind and you should be. Writing this still breaks my heart. Kiss mom for me. I MISS YOU. Love, Jim.

1 year has passed since you left us. It hasn't been easy to say the least. I wish we could've had more time together but that wasn't the plan i guess. I continue to look back at all the memories and wish for those days once more. I am thankful for you and all that you were. You have touched us all.

Almost a year has passed and I'm still missing you! Everyday I see something or experience something that reminds me of you. I wouldn't have it any other way. Until we meet again old friend.

Still missing you! It sure doesn't help handling all your stuff. It's funny when you look back and see that all the things that seemed to be a problem at the time was really nothing at all. I'd give anything to have you here! You were a really good guy, a saint in your last years, someone I aspire to be. You made me who I am and I wouldn't change that for the world. Thanks Dad!

Time has passed and I can feel that you have moved on. For that I'm thankful. However, I just wanted to say something. I haven't moved at all. I still miss you. All day, every day..... I miss you Dad.

To the family and closest friends of the Joseph Ciardullo my deepest sympathies, personally at the passing of a great friend and fellow citizen/federal worker. He was ALWAYS an inspiration to me! I want to apologizes to you as I have just received an email message about Joe's passing. I truly grieve with you in your hours of sorrow. Joe Jr., please let me know if I can be of assistance to you. Love you all in Christ! I need an address in which to send a card, thank you. Thomas Osgood

Pop Pop, it's sad for all of us to see you pass away when you've been around for so long. You'd always express your love towards our family in one way or another. Most of us grandchildren only knew you for 10 years, more or less. I wish that I would have known you longer but my dad always seems to make up for that lost time by telling me stories from his childhood. You always used to come over our house on Sundays to bring us some goodies or watch a sports game when we'd throw a party. Even when you began to come over less often because of your condition, we still made an effort to go visit you more too. Our family always wanted the best care for you, Pop Pop. Now that you're gone, it feels like a piece is missing. We all miss you greatly and love you. You're in a better place now and I hope that you're finally at peace.

PopPop, I know we didn't spend as much time as I would have liked together through the 12 years we knew each other but you were wonderful to hang out with and I will never forget you bringing over doughnut holes on Sundays. I'll love and miss you.

I still can't believe that you're gone. It just doesn't feel real to me. I will forever cherish those countless Sundays watching the Phillies and Eagles games with you. You have been not only a great father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, but also a great friend to all of us. If anyone ever needed something or someone during hard times you were always there to help and give a shoulder to lean on. You have sculpted my father and his brothers and sister into the great people they are, and they have helped me grow into the person I am today. I can never thank you enough for everything. I love you PopPop and I will miss you deeply.

I was fortunate to know you my whole life. You weren't the easiest person to get along with all the time, but if you wanted to talk about sports, you were the guy! I can't count how many times you would yell about us opening and closing the garage door. You raised 5 great kids who now will carry on your legacy. I know you're at peace now and I'm sure you're yelling for Shirley to make you a sandwich while laying on the couch in front of your fan. I'll miss you Mr. C. Rest in peace.

Grandpa, I'm sorry to say I didn't know you as long as I wished to. You were always so kind and loving, and had a smile on whenever I saw you. I wish you could've seen Sienna grow up so she could make memories of her own with you. You're greatly missed by us all, and we'll never forget you. I love you pops, and I miss you

Dad, you are most strongest and caring man I have ever met in my life. Your traits of caring, loving and always being there for whatever I needed will be passed on to my children. There are so many memories we have together. I am going to extremely miss our late night talks about our sports teams and life in general. I know you are in a better place but, call me selfish I never wanted you to go. The thought of not having you in my life is devastating. I will lean on the strength you have shown me to get me through this time of need. Funny huh, still helping from the other side. Your my Pop there is no other like you. Thanks for being my Dad and for the pleasure of being your Son. You will be greatly missed. Dad I love you and tell Mom hello. Farewell your son John.

As we retire, some you've worked with become a past memory until their name is mentioned and you say, Yea, remember him. That was not CR. He was always a man at the forefront, a great person, skilled at his job, and an awesome competitor in sports. May he rest in peace. Our sincerest sympathies. Kevin and Denise McCaffery

Grandpop, during your lifetime, you have shown me 15 years worth of your love and care for me. Not only were you a terrific Grandfather to me, but a motivating person to the rest of my family, including my parents, aunts, and uncles, and cousins.
My family and I had many great memories with you that go way back to when I was young. I admire your devotion to Italian culture, including its food. I loved going to the Olive Garden with you, and see you order your favorite dishes, pasta fagioli soup and lasagna.
I personally enjoy hearing all the interesting stories and memories that my family had with you many years ago. Since you have been such a influential person to my family, your legacy will be passed on to future generations of the Ciardullo family, including me, and live forever.
As a grandson of yours, I am grateful that you played a great role in my life. I respect the immense amount of love that you have given, not only to me, but my whole family. Now you are in heaven, without any pain or suffering of any kind. You will always be remembered in my heart. Rest in peace Grandpop.

Words cannot explain the sadness I am feeling at this time. You demonstrated strength, courage and determination. You fought a good fight to the end. I admire you for that.
Cindy, Anthony and I thank you for being a part of our lives. We will cherish the memories we had together, especially at the Olive Garden. You will be missed.
You are re-united with Mom in heaven. Say hello to Mom for us. We miss her.
I am proud to have you as my Father all these years. Rest in Peace Dad. You are forever in our hearts.

Words can't explain the sadness I feel at this time. In the years since Mom passed, I was lucky enough to really get to know you. I'll cherish those memories everyday.
Thank you for loving me and my family, supporting me everyday, and for being a big part of our lives. Although I will miss you, I know you have prepared me for the future without you.
Rest in peace Joseph V Ciardullo Sr. I am proud to call you my father.
