Born and raised in Guelph,[2] Cardillo was educated at the University of Guelph and moved to Kitchener in 1954 to work as a teacher.[2] He first ran for Kitchener City Council as an alderman in 1963,[2] and served in that role for 20 years prior to his election as mayor.[1]
His term as mayor was marked by significant economic growth,[2] a record of balanced budgets,[2] and the construction of the modern Kitchener City Hall.[1]
He retired in 1994, and was succeeded as mayor by Richard Christy. He is the second longest-serving mayor in the city's history, after Carl Zehr.[1]
