Not sure what to say?

Doctor performed a emergency heart stent procedure on me in March 2005 I was 46 at the time which was considered young for a heart attack, throughout the years I always remember how kind he was to me and he informed all the nurses and staff do not move her from this room no matter what. I just happened to find out today that he has passed away, I had googled to get my stent ID information, I will never forget him and loved reading the heartfelt eulogy I know he touched thousands I´m so...

I was too young when I met Dr. Diaco in 1985 when my father was his patient and got his first bypass surgery. My condolences for all the family, may he rest in peace.

My friend Nick. Was my best of friends. One in a million: those who know him, know the treasure he was. Gin and laughs and candor. Gin- the card game. All know; those who knew him, can´t help but adore admire and miss him.

Here I was in my mid 40’s Just lost the love of my life six months earlier I was smoking like chimney and working out as well when I started experience jaw pain, sweating, With two kids I decided to call an ambulance from the Palisades ,Paramedics asked me what hospital since my kids were born in Saint Johns that was my choice.

I never met Nicholas but I was a colleague of his brother, Joe, in Tampa. When Joe was the Bucs' physician, he had gotten me a sideline pass to shoot pictures at a game, since I was an avid photographer. Two or three times I walked behind the Bucs' bench and shouted "Joe," but was completely ignored. Not knowing what to think, why Joe would ignore me, was puzzling. Then I settled in at the back of the end zone to shoot some pictures, looked over at the Bucs' bench, and to my amazement, there...

With Dr. Diaco, I always respected his opinion, and in his care, believed myself to be in good hands.

RIP, Dr D.

It is with a sad, sad heart that I just received news of Nick's passing way to early. We both were from Philadelphia and met in the early years of my TWA career through mutual friends. He was indeed a character and I always enjoyed his company.
Sending gentle hugs and sympathy to his family both here in California and in Philadelphia. He was one of a kind and will be missed by many. Sending heavenly hugs to you Nick!

I miss you, Nick.
You've been my cardiologist since you have started practice.
You have also been my friend.
We were able to be in Indian princesses with our daughters.
I've always loved hearing about your travels. My favorite travel story was when you would go to the Kentucky derby and you would sit in the million dollar suite.

Rest In Peace

Your friend,

Joe
