I've been a nurse over 40 years and worked with Dr. Carducci at all the Elizabeth Hospitals. He was the kindest and most knowledgeable Dr. I ever met! I loved him as I believe every nurse who ever worked with him loved him. I can close my eyes now and see him reading his OWN EKG while lying on a stretcher in room 4 in Alexian Brothers ER. after his first MI-- only a personality like Dr. C's would do that--- so many memories-- may he rest in peace--------

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Robert as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist in the fledgling Nuclear Cardiology Lab at Alexian Brothers Hospital, at the time a new and exciting technology. I remember him as warm and friendly but intently focused on the wellbeing of his patients. When I had a myocardial infarction on Jan. 31, 1983, rather a bad one especially at age 44; I had the good fortune of securing him as my cardiologist.He remained in the Intensive Care Unit with me the whole night until I was stabilized and out of immediate danger. He continued as my physician until his own unfortunate MI. I know I survived that awful night because of his knowledge and dedication and I am so very grateful to him for the many extra years I have enjoyed since. He was a great man and will be sorely missed. With sincere and heartfelt sympathy to the Carducci family,a formder patient and friend, Michael E Lynch

My deepest sympathies to the entire Carducci Family. I have such great memories of Dr. Carducci and his great sense of humor! I had the pleasure of visiting with him at my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary party in September and it was like old times! We reminisced about the times you all visited us on Long Beach Island and the times we played football on your lawn in Homdel and our lawn in Colts Neck. He was a very special man and he will be greatly missed.

To the Carducci Family, My name is Karen Mirynowski and my husband Robert & I would like to send our condolences on the loss of your father/grandfather. We both worked with your dad at Alexian Brothers Hospital in The ICU/CCU unit. He was a wonderful man and an even more caring physician!! He spent many nights wrapped up in blanket sleeping at the bedside of a patient having a difficult night. I will never ever forget that! We admired him so much that we invited him to our wedding in 1985 and were so very excited and appreciative of the fact that he said yes and was able to attend. When we moved to Pennsylvania we lost touch but have never forgotten about him. We often refer to him as one of our all time favorite doctors we have ever had the privilege to work with and learn from. We are so very sorry for your loss. May he Rest In Peace. We will never forget him. Karen & Bob Mirynowski

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I worked with Dr. Carducci for several years at the Div. of Disability. He was not only a colleague but a cherished friend. Extremely high moral character. A humble man. Once I was very depressed over a pending divorce. I was like a zombie at the job. Stayed to myself and didn't speak much to anyone. Dr. Carducci took the initiative and compelled me to eat food and he invited me to his home for some R & R although I declined. I loved Dr. Carducci and was enormously impressed by him. About 3 months ago he was on my heart. I tried to contact him (he gave me his home phone #) but to no avail. I felt he was in danger. Ask a couple people about him but no one knew anything. I prayed for him and his bloodline. The world has lost a great man. Lance Watson

Dr. R. Carducci was and remains one of a kind: Knowldge wiz, kind, confident and very friendly. Working with him for years enrichened my exprience and view about life. He will be greatly missed. A true medical doctor indeed.

With Deepest Sympathy to a life long friend & compsssionate doctor. Sending love and strength to all Bob's family.

Dr Carducci and my self go all the way back to the old state building. He was one of my favorite review physicians and a hell of a nice guy. I always admired his confidence and resolve. I will never forget the time he said to me "George, I don't care if you do not feel like drinking you are going to have a drink with me". My sincere condolences to your family in the memory of one exceptional man.

Carducci Family My heart goes out to you. I have know Bob since 1952 and shared many laughs with Bob and Leo O'Conner. Bob purchased my share of Donovan`s Reef, for which I am forever grateful. God Bless Jim

Bob was a dear friend. I met Bob in the 1st Grade at OLV in Jersey City.We attended St Peter's Prep together After high school distance and life made our meetings less frequent, but always valuable. I never left his company without a warm feeling and a smile on my face. It is my prayer that the fullest measure of God's Grace of condolence be given to his family and his many friends.

I,too,met Bob in the first grade and saw him from time to time growing up.He graciously held a reunion at his home for our OLV class and we had a wonderful time renewing old friendships.My prayers have been with him for a long time and I 'm sure he is relating a few jersey city stories to Him.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
