Our sympathy and condolences are sent to the family of John Daluz, He was a good, kind man who we were fortunate enough to count as our friend. He did a lot to make Rhode Island a better place for diversity to flourish. By his success in life and in business he served as a huge role model that inspired others in our minority community to consider going into business. He was a true leader, and we all will find it very hard to replace him in our community. Rest in Peace, John, you made us all proud to call Jojn Daluz our good friend.. With peace and love from Richard & Allene Maynard, of Providence.

Unfortunately, I never knew my cousin. I wish I had though because I hear he was the nicest person ever. who wouldn't want to someone like that in this cruel world. May the family members be at Peace today knowing he made a difference in many people's lives. That's an awesome legacy to leave. My deepest sympathy to the family. God bless you all. Much love

I think I met John for the first time when I was about 8 years old and my mother worked at the South Providence Credit Union when it was a store front in the shopping center. John became a long-time family friend who always had an encouraging word and a ready smile! He provided a positive example to the community, with a strong work ethic and commitment to family, friends and community. Thank you Ms. Bubbles and Toby, for sharing your husband and father with Providence for so many years!

As a good friend of Tobey's from grades 7-12, I never saw Mr. Daluz without a smile on his face. My mother worked with Mr. Daluz at Old Stone Bank and fondly remembers walking from South Main Street down Empire Street to deliver funds, laughing all the way at his jokes. "Vibrant" is how we would both describe him. Tobey, my heart goes out to you and your family at this sad time. Much love, Karen

Please accept our condolences and prayers for all of the Daluz and Valles family. John was a beautiful man, inside and out, personification of family, love and faith. For as far back as there was the Daluz family, side by side were the Andrade's, and now another family member has gone home. Rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to Rose and Toby as well as his grandchildren and sisters. John was a good friend of mine for many years. I first met John many years ago when I applied for a car loan at the South Providence Credit Union. I was a single parent with no credit history and limited income when John took a chance and approved my very first car loan. To this day I'm sure that was what inspired me to become a banker in order to be able to affect the lives of so many people in the same manner.
That was the beginning of a lifetime friendship and many years later when I ventured out on my own to start a new business his assistance was priceless. It was during his very first meeting as a comissioner on the Parks Department when he found himself in the middle of discussions regarding the granting of the license for Snubs. He advocated for it's approval and to this day there's no doubt in my mind that his input was what made the difference.
So to John's family, I would like you to know that he was a mentor to myself as well as to many others and that not only did I lose a good friend but the community lost a great man who was an advocate and mentor for many others. My heart goes out to all of John's family and friends but I'm sure that he's in a better place and though we'll miss him, we can take comfort in the knowledge that his pain and suffering is over.

To Mrs. Daluz and Tobey,
I have such great memories of Mr. Daluz. He was truly a gentleman. He had such a presence in my life growing up on Pleasant Street. I also had the pleasure of socializing with him a few times in my adult life and I cannot tell you what an honor that was. He was always so kind. I know he is missed already. May you find strength in your family and your memories.
