Patrick Ciervo Obituary
Our loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather Patrick Joseph Ciervo, 93, or as he would jokingly say he was 103. Known as the "Candy Man," he passed away on March 12 peacefully in his sleep.
He was born on Oct. 12, 1918, in Reading, PA, the son of Antonio and Agata Cier-vo.
He had three brothers: Frank, Charles, and James, and five sisters: Catherine, Rose, Mary, Josephine, and Annie.
He was married to the late Loretta Ruth.
He is survived by his son, Patrick J. Ciervo, married to Sheila Ciervo, five grandchildren: Tiffany Donly (Rory), Stacy Green (Steve), Holly Saniger (Mark), Ryan Ciervo (Hilary), and Emily Ray (Brent); and six great-grandchildren: Mackenzie, Kylee, Katelyn, Olivia, Kol-in, Mia and two more on the way.
He has been retired from Carpenter Steel Technology since 1980 after 32 years of service. Some of his hobbies were bowling, playing games, pool, old music, singing, watching old movies, and doing crossword puzzles. He liked to tell people he was an FBI, "Full Blooded Italian."
Patrick joined the LDS Church on April 17, 2011, at the age of 92. He recently had the opportunity to share his testimony of the gospel, scriptures, and love he had for the Savior Jesus Christ. The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation and gratitude for the care he received from the Diamond Jane Assisted Living and Harmony Hospice.
Viewing will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, March 16 at the White Stake Center on Cherry Street next to Grantsville High School, with the funeral at noon. Please be in your seats 15 minutes prior to the services. Interment will be at the Tooele City Cemetery.
Heartfelt thanks go to Didericksen Memorial for their kindness and care. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. We love you Dad and Pop-Pop!

I worked with you at Carpenter in the late 70's and remember some funny stories we shared. I remember our mutual love of the Cinninati Reds with Johnny Bench & Pete Rose. I smile when I remember how you would tell me you were going to throw your bowling ball over the bridge and into the Schuylkill River after an off night at bowling. Hard to believe that was over 30 years ago...thanks for memories. Rest in peace Pat!

Our deepest sympathy to the entire Ciervo family. We knew Pat from St Anthony of Padua church in Millmont. He always sat in the same pew with us at Saturday evening mass and he was missed when he moved.

My Dearest grandpa, I will miss you greatly, even though we lost touch lately I still thought about you every day. I send my deepest sympathy to the whole Ciervo family at this time of need. He was and always will be a great man. We will all miss you and we loved you very much. I will bowl another 300 just for you. I promise.

I am very sorry for your loss. Patrick was a cousin to my grandmother Ann (Razzano) Nestro (her mother Marian was a sister to Agata) and my mother remembers meeting him when she was young. I became acquainted with Holly through genealogical research.
