Charlie was born in Newark on September 26, 1966. He graduated from Parsippany Hills High School and went on to have a 38-year career as a welder. Charlie worked as a welder at Norwalt Designs for the past 4 years.
Charlie enjoyed long walks with his dogs, Maxi and Jeter, when he wasn’t watching a Yankee game; thanks to Yankee Radio he never missed a game. He loved spending time in trout streams, fishing with his son on the lake and spending time with his dad and brother down the shore. Family meant everything to him; he was a devoted father, son, brother and family man.
Charlie was predeceased by his lifelong companion, Nicki Clemens in 2020. He is survived by his sons, Charlie J. Cirella and Karl Clemens and wife, Kaitlyn; his parents, Charles and Carole (Keller) Cirella; his sister, Sherri Kuduk and husband, Kent; his brother, Anthony Cirella, Sr. and wife, Joan; his nephews, KC and Dominic Kuduk, Anthony Cirella, Jr. and Andrew Colligan; his niece Savannah Cirella; his grandchildren, Ava and Aidan Clemens; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
