He was preceded in death by his wife of 44 years\, Jane (Cope) Robnett. He is survived by daughters\, Susan Robnett Haider (Robert) of Minneapolis\, Minnesota and Nancy Robnett Durban (Kerry) of Cincinnati\, Ohio and grandchildren\, Madeline Haider\, Adelei Durban and Macrae Durban. \nUpon graduation from Millburn Senior High School in Millburn\, New Jersey\, Ed enlisted in the Marine Corps to serve our Country near the end of World War II and later was recalled during the Korean War. After his service\, he attended Seton Hall University in South Orange\, New Jersey. He relocated to Northeast Ohio in the early 1950s with his bride\, Jane\, experiencing a long and successful industrial sales career in “plastics”. \nCommunity involvement was important to Ed. He was a 38-year member of Medina Masonic Lodge #58\, Medina Chapter #266 Order of the Eastern Star and Noble of the Al Koran Shrine. He was a long-time member of the Marine Corps League\, Medina County Detachment No. 569\, where he faithfully served on the firing squad for Military Funeral Honors at The Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Rittman\, Ohio – in all seasons. His passion for the Toys for Tots drives was well known. He worked a route across the county to collect toys until the year in which he could no longer drive. \nEd and Jane were long-time members of the United Church of Christ\, Congregational and then the Medina Presbyterian Church. They were Medina HS band parents and supporters of activities their daughters participated in\, including Medina County Band Concerts. The social\, service and religious focus of these organizations was a special part of Ed’s every-day life. \nOne of Ed’s passions was classic cars. He usually had about three or more at a time. His favorites were a 1932 Model A pickup truck and a 1936 Ford sedan with original Washington Blue paint job and horsehair interior. Annually\, the second week of October\, he went to the Hershey\, Pennsylvania car meet. The family never knew what he would come home with – parts for one of his cars or a new\, old car. \nEd taught his daughters to work hard\, not quit\, be kind and loyal and not take themselves too seriously. His humor\, bravery and love of family and community continues to be an inspiration. \nA memorial service was held by the family at Western Reserve Masonic Community on June 29\, 2018\, on what would have been Ed’s 91st birthday. Ed was laid to rest next to his wife with Military Funeral Honors in a private burial surrounded by family at the Hollywood Memorial Park & Cemetery\, Union\, New Jersey. \n  \nFeatured Soloist\nGeorge Rosin\, trombone\, is a self-employed attorney in Akron Ohio\, with emphasis on employer representation in Workers Compensation matters.  Married to Diane and proud father of two future health care professionals\, Rosin has a wide range of musical experience. He was a member of a Dixieland Band in high school; at Wittenberg University\, he played with Wind Ensemble\, Chet Bausch Big Band and Springfield Symphony Orchestra. Since then\, he had a short stint with Blues/Rock Band (Grand Theft Auto)\, but mostly big band work – Night Coach\, Jimmy Dorsey\, Guy Lombardo\, and Jazz Revival Orchestra.  Rosin is currently director of The Brass Choir at The Bath Church\, lead trombone for the Hudson Community Chapel’s Holiday Musical Extravaganza\, and a James Brown Tribute Band (The Real-Soul Pleaser\, Robert T). He joined Medina Community Band in October of 2016. He is a member and past president of Akron Symphony Board. Music has been very\, very good to me\, he stated. \n  \n  \n  \n19 MCB Summer Program Notes – July 19th – as of 19 06 29

In a statement from the Medina City Schools\, district Communications Relations Director\, Amy Busby said that during Ciulla’s tenure as an instrumental music teacher\, he developed “an outstanding band program that is recognized as one of the best in the state.” \n“Numerous band competition championship trophies and annual superior state rankings are just a few of the many indicators Gary had and the high expectations of excellence for the band program\,” Busby wrote. \n“Gary’s leadership and organizational skills\, along with his exceptional instructional expertise and work dedication\, have created a greatly admired ‘Medina Band culture’ that includes students\, parents\, alumni and the entire community.” \nIn his career\, Ciulla was the recipient of the district’s Distinguished Service Award in 2015\, and was recognized by proclamations from both the Ohio State Senate and the House of Representatives for his outstanding service to public education. \nPerhaps Ciulla’s greatest legacy\, Busby continued\, is the band program itself. \n“The band has and continues to be the highlight of the evening on fall Friday nights\,” she wrote. “Throughout the winter months\, parents and community members flock to middle school and high school instrumental concerts. The band music program is one of the school district’s greatest sources of pride in the community. (This) excellence is a direct result of Gary’s career efforts.” \nShe added that Ciulla’s leadership as head band director “is again demonstrated by the over 800 students that are part of the instrumental music program in grades 6 through 12.” \nGary is survived by his beloved wife\, Lori (Werstler) Ciulla; loving children\, daughter Lindsay Ciulla of Columbus\, OH; sons\, Nicholas (Siobhan) Ciulla of Birmingham\, AL\, Vincent (Ally) Ciulla of North Royalton\, OH\, Jacob (Tess) Ciulla of Seville\, OH; and father\, Gabriel Peter (Joan) Ciulla of Alden\, NY. Gary is also survived by his three brothers\, Mark Ciulla\, Joseph Ciulla\, and Michael (Sara) Ciulla; two sisters\, Cindy (Mark) Robinson\, and Marie (Jerry) Synrod. He is preceded in death by his dear mother Felicia (nee Rispoli) Ciulla \,who passed in 1984. \nGary held both a Bachelor’s degree of Music Education from Kent State University and a Master’s degree of Music Education from the University of Akron. He was the Director of Bands for Medina City Schools before retiring in May 2015. \nHe was a prominent member of the Medina community and touched many lives during his all too short life. \n
