Edward J. Giancola, 82, of Auburn passed away unexpectedly on Monday, March 30, 2026. He was born in Auburn, NY, the son of the late Frank and Celia Giancola.

Ed worked 42 years at Alco’s and was a part-time driver for 40 years at Calandro’s. Ed loved having daily breakfast and coffee with his old-time friends at all the local restaurants, picking up the daily newspaper, and taking drives around town with his wife to see what his grandkids were up to. He cherished the many special times he was fortunate enough to have had with his family, and he will be deeply missed.

He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Marilyn Giancola; his sons Mark (Lisa) Giancola, Thomas Giancola; grandchildren Jacob Giancola, Samantha (Michael) Howell, Joshua Giancola, Kennedy (Michael) Schumaker, Benjamin (Elizabeth) Giancola; and 14 great-grandchildren.
