My deepest sympathy to Dr. Calandrillo's family, friends and staff. All 3 of my children were his patients. My oldest John(25 yrs old), had a special connection from the first time we met him in Mercy Pediatrics. I've always held him in high regard and he will be missed by the many lives he's touched...Loretta Cusumano Camelo

I'm sorry to have found out so late about Neil's passing. My 2 daughters were patients of his for many years during which we became friendly. We often told dog stories since we both shared a love for labs and other breeds. I would like to wish the family my most sincere condolences, even at this late date. He was a very good guy and I will miss sharing dog stories with him.

February 2, 2010

Our deepest condolences on the loss of our wonderful Dr. Calandrillo. Dr. Neil has been our pediatrician since the moments our children were born -- Nora in 1998, and Declan in 1999. Dr. Neil has done so much for our children and our family. From his incredibly detailed instructions when we took our 1st baby home from Mercy hospital, to his no-nonsense straight talk when our 2nd child ended up in the NICU. His words gave us courage then, and we knew we could count on him no matter what. Whether it meant meeting us at the emergency room with a sick infant, or dealing with the often frightening trials and tribulations of caring for two small children. Dr Neil was always there for us with his rational, commonsense approach. He treated our kids like his own. When they got hurt, he truly took it to heart. His silly ties and jokes always made the kids smile, and he addressed even our craziest new parent fears with great concern. We were so lucky to have known him, and to have had him as our doctor for all these years. Our deepest sympathy to his family on this tragic loss. We know how much he must have suffered, and we find solace in knowing he is finally at peace. He will live on in all of our hearts, and in the hearts of all the children he cared for. With great sadness on your loss, The Louw Family -- Trish, Fred, Nora & Declan

We were so sad to hear of Dr. Neil's passing. He was our pediatrician from 1995 until 2006 when we moved to Delaware. We made many trips back to NY the first year and a half of our move, and a few times one of the kids got sick. Dr. Neil always saw them and told me never to hesitate to contact him if we needed him during one of our stays. He was a great guy. From our family to yours, our sincere condolences on your loss.

God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be. So He wrapped his arms around you, and whispered, “Come to me”. You didn’t deserve what you went through, So He gave you rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best And when I saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free from pain I could not wish you back To suffer that again. (by Author Unknown)

Uncle:

There is not a day that will go by that we will not think of you; you will always be with us in spirit and in our hearts, please give our love to Judy.

Our love for eternity,
Vanessa, Bill, Olivia, Jared & Bryce

My daughter saw Dr. Calandrillo for several years before we moved. We have yet to find another pediatrician or practice that would compare with the level of care she received there. We are so sad to hear about his passing and hope his family finds some solace in knowing that he has touched many lives and will always be remembered.

We were so saddened to learn of Dr. Calandrillo's passing. He had been our son's pediatrician for 18 years and was a wonderful man and doctor. Dr. Neil was always so caring and kind. I always enjoyed talking to him about our kids. Madeline was the same age as our youngest son, so they shared the same milestones. The major difference was that he was living in a house of females and I lived with all males! Dr. Neil was so proud of his family and always spoke of you all so lovingly. We are truly sorry for your loss and you are all in our thoughts and prayers. May he rest in eternal peace and may Our Lord comfort you during your time of grief.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Calandrillo family and friends.
Dr. Neil was a wonderful pediatrician who not only took care of his patients but helped their parents as well.
We met Dr. Neil 17 years ago when our first child was born.
It was very reassuring to have a pediatrician who was experiencing being a parent along with us.
Rest in peace Dr. Neil.

I was so saddened today when I heard the news of Dr.Neil's passing...He was there from the first of my extremely premature daughter Gianna, up through her emergency open heart surgery in July 2007. Gianna thought he was the funniest everytime he tickled her belly and tried to calm her fears....We know that all the angels are singing to him right now in heaven...our thoughts and prayers are with your family.....He will be sorely missed....

Our deepest sympathy to the Calandrillo family. I cannot put into words how saddened we are to hear of Dr. Calandrillo's passing. He was such a wonderful man as well as our daughter's pediatrician. I remember all the detailed instructions he gave us at the hospital the day we brought our oldest daughter Caitie home. He too was to become a new Dad soon after. When he spoke of his girls his face would light up. The love he had for his family was so apparent. Please know you all are in our thoughts and prayers.

God bless,
The Gutierrez Family
Mike, Theresa, Caitie and Gaby.
