Ardolino

Dr. Joseph Michael Ardolino passed away suddenly after courageously facing significant medical challenges and overcoming cancer. Joe was the beloved husband of Giuseppina Ardolino; the cherished father of Joseph Ardolino and Simona Nitti; the dear father-in-law to their spouses Melissa Ardolino and Travis Nitti; beloved grandfather to Serafina, Magdalena and Luca, the younger brother of Linda Ballinger and Joan Wright, dear uncle to Alexandra, Jonathan, Jennifer and Jessica and loyal friend to many throughout his life; and an unforgettable staple in his community.

Joe grew up in Cliffside Park, New Jersey. His childhood was happy and consisted of playing sports, going on rides at the Palisades Amusement Park, and fishing with his friends. After graduating high school, he was employed as a junior scientist for Lipton and he subsequently began pursuing collegiate education, which ultimately led to studying medicine. Despite facing challenges, Joe persevered and completed medical school in Italy, where he met the love of his life, Giuseppina. He was known for his sharp wit, acute intelligence, and infectious sense of humor.

Joe had many passions and interests, including music, literature, trains, and cooking. However, he was most passionate about his family. He was hard-working and made numerous sacrifices for his loved ones. As a doctor, he served patients and the community with integrity and compassion. Our beloved Joe will be tremendously missed and never forgotten.
