Candeloro "Kenny"

Cundari

Candeloro "Kenny" Cundari came over from Bagnara, Calabra, Italy in August 1964 and settled in Cliffside Park, N.J. Candeloro was a barber that gave his first haircut at 13 years old in Italy and brought his skills to the United States where he lived the American Dream. Candeloro "aka" Kenny opened his first barber shop in Norwood, N.J. where his clientele spanned business executives to politicians, actors and professional athletes of the likes of Jim "Catfish" Hunter, Thurman Munson and others. He then opened his second barbershop in Fort Lee for another 25 years. Candeloro and his wife Angelica lived in Cliffside Park and made it their permanent home for almost 60 years. In Cliffside Park they raised four children and were surrounded by so many family members and friends that migrated over from that same small town in Italy to the Cliffside Park/Fort Lee area. Candeloro was an active member in his community, being a longtime member of the Knights of Columbus and the San Rocco Society of Fort Lee. Candeloro was a practicing Roman Catholic and had a strong faith in God. Beloved husband to Angelica (nee) Gramuglia. Cherished son to the late Rocco and Rosaria Cundari. Devoted father to Rocco and Diane Cundari, Enrico and Giovanna Cundari, the late Rosario (July 25, 2023) and his wife Karen Cundari and Maria Carmela and Kerim Sarier. Adored grandfather to Nicholas and his wife Stephanie, Luciano and his wife Caity, Marco, Christopher, Anthony, Derek, Jordan, Aiden, and Emma. Cherished great grandfather to Leonardo. Candeloro is also survived by a bountiful amount of loving nieces and nephews.
