Support Bob Ciardelli's Loving Family

Our dear friend, Bob Ciardelli, the beloved husband of Ann and father of six children died on July 12, 2024, at home in Plymouth surrounded by family after a battle with lymphoma. Bob was born December 6, 1962, number 7 of 11 children. He grew up in Bloomington and graduated from Bloomington Jefferson High School. He found success across a number of professions, including owning Ciardelli's Pizza & Pasta, as a fly-fishing guide, and a salesman.

Bob lived his life out loud with an energy and exuberance matched by few. He was the heartbeat of his home. He was deeply engaged in the lives of his children, instilling in them the value of hard work, a job well done, a passion for life, and the importance of family. Bob was an avid outdoorsman and an accomplished fly fisherman and hunter. Some of his best days were spent in Montana, South Dakota and Minnesota walking fields, or on lakes and rivers. Many of those days would result in his favorite kind of evening: sitting by a bonfire with friends and family, a bourbon in hand.

Preceded in death by his parents Don and Mary. He leaves behind an amazing legacy of love and family. His adored wife, Ann; children Ashley (Jesse) Balego, Dominic (Siri), Olivia (Bryan) Castonguay, Cole, Parker, Sophia, and his hunting dog Boomer. His siblings Cathy (Ted) Terp, Anne (Roger) Parks, Dan (Karin Schuman), Kerry (Jeff) Chevalier, Mike (Diane), Lisa (Don) Beaupre, Ted (Kari), Chris (Shannon), Brigitte (Joe) Janasz, Tony (Brenda), all of Minnesota, along with countless nieces and nephews and his grandkids Georgia, Etta, Juni, Maeve, River and Otis.

A Celebration of Bob's Life will be held at 3:00 p.m. at Wayzata Community Church, 125 Wayzata Blvd. MN, on Friday, November 8th followed by a gathering at Olympic Hills Country Club, 10625 Mt. Curve Road, Eden Prairie, MN.

Ann and the kids are all so grateful for the unbelievable support they have been given throughout Bob's diagnosis and treatment.
