      Cerillo, Victor age 56 of Newburgh, NY, passed away on Monday, June 8, 2015. He was born in Newburgh NY on January 11, 1959. He is survived by his father, John Cerillo and mother, Marlyin. He had one son, John and two grandchildren. He is predeceased by his sister, Dorothy. He was a life-long resident of the area. Vic was an accomplished artist and graduate of NFA. He was an associate and integral part of the Antique and Collectible Shop for the past eight years. This is where his artistic abilities flourished and expanded into new creative avenues. He was a knowledgeable movie buff of the old classic movies and ventured into creating dioramas of various scenes from these movies. He developed his talents further into theatrical make-up and created memorable film characters, the most impressionable being Grandpa from the Adams Family. Vic was truly a friend to all who encountered him and he left us with fond memories of his wit and humor which can still be heard throughout the store that he loved. He always gave of himself and never asked or expected anything in return. Vic, was a simple man who required very little in life with his greatest pleasure pleasing others, his friends or just strangers. He left a lasting impression on all who knew him, and will be deeply missed. He is in God's Kingdom now awaiting those who love him. He once said that the world is the Titanic and Jesus has the only life boat. I can see that life boat and Vic sitting there with a hand resting on his shoulder. Victor Cerillo was cremated at the Brooks Funeral Home and his remains were interned in the family plot. There will be a Memorial for him from 7 to 9 p.m. on Monday June 15th at the Amazing Grace Church, 361 Broadway, (Ann St. entrance) Newburgh, NY.
