Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
To Ciraolo Family,
I am so sorry for your loss, may Joe Rest In Peace. You are all in my thoughts and Prayers
Nancy, to you and your entire family I give my deepest condolences.
I’m going to miss you and our texts. I’m grateful for all our talks and time together. You were a great friend to me and I will miss you very much amigo mío! We love you!
A tragic loss. Although we hadn’t the opportunity to chat for several years, am sure Joe remained, as was his natural spirit – upbeat, good natured, and enthusiastic about all things which he loved: family, friends, antique cars and life in Maine. He truly was a “cheer leader” for everyone and all things he cherished in his too short life. Am sure he rests in the arms of his divine and loving creator. Well done, Joe. Your generous and loving spirit lives on.
My heartfelt condolences to the Ciraolo family. I knew Joe from the neighborhood and school he was always a great guy with a great smile and laugh and it sounds like he used them well throughout his life.
Nancy, Joseph, Kristin and Nina, Frank and I send our love and sincere sympathy on the passing of Joe! He was a super guy and always brought joy and laughter to our Liberty Street neighborhood! He will be greatly missed! We will keep you all in our prayers! May he Rest In Peace!
Love Frank and Jeanne

To The Ciraolo Family,
From the day we met, I knew Joe and I were compares forever. We shared so many stories from our Raytheon days throughout many times in our lives. Joe was ALL about family! We shared a passion about being Italian which Joe was so proud to be. We even had laughs right up until his last days. I will never forget the bond which Joe and I shared. He is a person who made an impact and especially on Susan and I. What a remarkable man. He will surely be missed. I am so grateful to have had a friend like Joe.
Love to you all
