Longtime Yuma resident Joseph Giuseppe Ciciulla passed away on May 16, 2013 at the age of 93. He was born November 3, 1919, in Omaha, Nebraska. Joe was the son of Rosa Demari Ciciulla and Filadelfo Ciciulla of Omaha, Nebraska, Italian immigrants from Carlentini, Sicily (Italy). He was a World War II Veteran and served over three years in the Army Air Corp (Force), 334th Fighter Squadron, throughout England and Northern Europe. He achieved the rank of Staff Sergeant. After the war, he went on to work for the Federal Aviation Administration as an Aircraft Inspector and he retired after 33 years of service. Joe loved to work with his hands, whether it was in his shop or under the hood of his truck. He built a second home in the Prescott area as a winter home for he and his wife. He could often be found looking for a deal at the local swap meet, or having coffee with friends at Brownies. Joe is survived by his wife, Donna of Yuma, brother, Sam Ciciulla of Omaha (aka T.Demari), stepdaughter Nancy Gray Eade (Wesley) of Yuma, two step- grandchildren, Elizabeth Anderson McKay of Yuma and Jeffrey Gray of Litchfield Park, AZ, and four great grandchildren. A viewing for Joe will be held at Johnson Mortuary, Yuma, Arizona, on Friday, May 24, 2013 from 6pm until 8pm and a Graveside Service will be held Saturday, May 25, 2013 at 10am with the American Legion Post #19 and Elks Lodge #476 officiating. In lieu of flowers the family is asking that donations be made to the Yuma Humane Society, Elks Lodge #476 or the American Legion Post #19.
