Born in Philadelphia, April 11, 1930, he was the son of Nicholas and Mary (DeSantis) Cianciarulo.

He graduated from Saint Joseph College in 1952, with a bachelor's degree in Science. He met his wife, Pat, on a blind date, arranged by Tony's mother, Mary, and they were married in 1952.

After a brief stint at Piasecki Helicopter, Tony had the opportunity to join Ciba in 1957 and transferred to Toms River, N.J. in 1959. He was transferred to Ren Plastics in Lansing in 1971. Tony loved his work. He seriously took pride in his business and truly relished the friends he made during his time in Lansing. Over the years, his expertise and reputation led him to be named plant manager of the division.

Tony had a passion for his Family, loved movies, shoes, watches, the History channel and swimming. His greatest enjoyment was Sunday dinners surrounded by his Family.
