Ciaccio/Clemishire Celebration of Life Reception

Our Dad / Grandpa, Charles J. Ciaccio; brother / uncle, Craig Ciaccio; and Aunt Sue (H. Suzanne) Clemishire died during times when the COVID pandemic made it impossible to properly say “good bye.” 

The family invites friends to a reception to celebrate the lives of these three amazing individuals.  Please join us at 110 Lincoln Ave. in Altamont for an outdoor reception on Saturday, Sept. 25, 2021, between 2 and 5 p.m.  Please be “COVID aware.”
