John Caridi
September 21, 1934 — March 14, 2015
John A. Caridi, 80, of Boca Raton, Florida, was surrounded by his family when he died on Saturday, March 14, 2015 in Little Rock, Arkansas while undergoing medical treatment. He fought a six year courageous battle with Multiple Myeloma. John was born September 21, 1934 to the late John and Mary (Foti) Caridi in White Plains, New York.
John graduated from White Plains High School and then proudly served in the United States Army. He later became a business owner in the Tile Setting Industry where he was a very creative and skilled craftsman. John was active in his early years at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in White Plains, NY where he was a member of the Knights of Columbus. He lived in Valhalla, NY for 30 years with his family. He was active at Holy Name of Jesus Church in Valhalla, NY where he was a member of the Holy Name Society and served as an Usher. He enjoyed cooking, gardening and making homemade wine, but his true passion was being a husband, father and grandfather and he loved his family dearly. He was very strong and intelligent and showed us all how to live a life full of caring, compassion and joy.
John was preceded in death by one daughter: Roxanne Caridi; four brothers: Anthony, Peter, Carmelo and Paul Caridi; two sisters: Phyllis Pacini and Carol Caridi. He is survived by the love of his life and wife of fifty-seven years Joan (Criscione) Caridi, their four wonderful children: Phyllis Caridi of Boca Raton, FL; Stacie Baumgartner and husband Jason of Danbury, CT; John Caridi of Peekskill, NY and Michael Caridi and wife Andrea of White Plains, NY; three amazing grandchildren: Apryl Caridi and twins Mia and Michael Caridi; three sisters: Josephine Gambelli of NY, Rose Martins and husband Manuel of Thornwood, NY and Mary Falcone and husband Kevin of White Plains, NY and one brother: Salvatore Caridi of White Plains, NY with a host of nieces and nephews that he loved dearly.
The family cannot thank the Doctors and Nurses in both Arkansas and Florida for their exceptional care and love they offered him throughout his battle.
A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date in White Plains, NY. Arrangements have been entrusted to Cremations and Funeral Service of Arkansas. Guests may register at www.arkansascremation.com.
