Bud was president and sole proprietor of Milwaukee Investment Realty, an investment real estate brokerage firm founded over 40 years ago. He nurtured countless relationships with his clients and within the brokerage community. Bud was an incredibly devoted servant to his faith and his church. He and Barb have been members of the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist since 1997. Individually and collectively they have been involved in many aspects of parish life such as Eucharistic ministry, finance, stewardship and social activities. Bud served as Trustee Treasurer of the parish. Bud was also deeply devoted to the life and spirit of St. Francis of Assisi, and served as the President of the board for the Franciscan Pilgrimage Program in Franklin, WI.

Honor to Know Bud and His Family. Awesome people.
So sorry for the loss of this wonderful man. He was highly respected and truly loved by his family. Our prayers are with all of you during this time of loss.
Pray for the repose of Bud’s soul. I will and for the family.
A man of integrity and my dear friend. He will be missed.
Bud was unique. His strengths were integrity, honesty and knowledge. He spent a good part of his life trying to pass that along to the people under him, myself included. He will be missed.
My sympathies to the entire Cialdini Family. I’m so sorry for your great loss.
Kristin, Todd and kids, and David, Jenni and girls, I’m sending love and prayers your way.
Was sad to read of Your Dad/Grandpa’s passing. Such a difficult time.
Love you very much! Aunt Theresa
Bud was a great client, terrific real estate resource, and a dear, dear friend. I will miss our chats about theatre over beet salads at Parkside 23. I will miss his jokes about Canadians and bankers. I will miss how he raved about his amazing family and all of their plans together. I will miss his honest and heartfelt laughter and his genuine sincerity when he would ask “how are you?”.
For his family, know that he not only touched the lives of others, but he made a lasting and positive impact. My condolences on your loss. I will deeply miss my friend and I’ll smile from ear to ear when I think of him.
With deepest sympathy to you and your family. Our prayers and thoughts are with you now and in the days ahead. We know Bud will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Lots of good memories from Cathedral High and St John the Evangelist parish/school. Bud will be included in masses and prayers at Sacred Heart Monastery. Love and Hugs Jerry & Marge Bath
I am so very glad I had the opportunity to see Buddy at Zilber Hospice before he passed. After so many years since high school he looked s handsome as ever. My condolences to you Barb and Kristen, and the entire Cialdini family..
Our deepest sympathy to you Barb and your entire family on Bud’s passing. We had planned to attend the funeral but I came down with a nasty bug. We have many fond memories with Bud and his family and hope you find solace in knowing how much he was loved and respected. Stay strong and lean on each other for comfort. My mom and Aunt Mary also extend their sympathies to you and your family. Peace be with all of you.

Bud was a true pillar of the Cathedral community whose presence, wit and wisdom is irreplaceable. He brightened the lives of countless people and truly left the world a better place. Rest in peace, Bud. At least Heaven is now a better place.
