Father Of 4 Passes Away In The Caldwells, Fundraiser Launched To Benefit His Family

CALDWELLS, NJ — There was nothing that Craig Signorile loved more than spending time with his wife and four children. Now, a fundraiser has been launched in their names after the Essex County resident’s passing last week.

Signorile, who was born in Glen Ridge and spent most of his life in the Caldwells, died peacefully on Nov. 17 at his home at the age of 50, surrounding by loving family members.

A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to benefit Signorile’s wife and children. View it online here.

According to his obituary, Signorile graduated from James Caldwell High School in 1993 and went on to earn his bachelor’s degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University. He built a successful career in information technology and most recently served as the executive director of client services at Organon in Jersey City.

The obituary highlights Signorile’s love for his family – and his penchant for humor and sports:

“Craig loved nothing more than spending time with his family. He especially enjoyed being active with his kids, nieces, and nephews. He was forever making people laugh with his constant sarcasm, jokes, and pranks. A passionate supporter of his favorite teams — the New York Giants, Notre Dame football, and Big Ten wrestling — he could always be found cheering them on. He was also faithfully planted in front of the TV every Saturday morning for College GameDay, never missing a moment.”

Signorile will be remembered as a “loving husband,” an “incredible father” and a “devoted friend,” the GoFundMe campaign says.
