Not sure what to say?

I am so saddened to learn of the death of my dear friend, Joe. He and I trained together and were friends for more than 40 years. Susan, Joe and my dear wife Anne did so many things together over the years. Unfortunately, I was in Florida when Joe passed and just learned of his death today. He was a gifted surgeon and a true scholar. I shall miss our dinners together as we both lost our dear wives. RIP my friend. Gerry Healy

One of the best, a consumate surgeon, student of medicine and colleague.

I was so fortunate to have known Joe after joining ENT Specialists in 2001. He was a mentor to me as I quickly realized I had the opportunity to learn from a master surgeon in otologic surgery. I will always remember his dry wit, intellect, and composure but most importantly his kindness. I am a better surgeon and person because of him. Thank you Joe, until we meet again. My sincerest condolences to his family.

Joe and Susan were neighbors to my late husband and me for 27 years. Susan was terrific, and she made Joe promise to take the recycle bin that we shared down to the street. And he did faithfully thereafter, especially after my husband passed away three years ago. Joe and I belonged to the same health club and often visited while we were there, as well as down by the mailboxes that we shared. This past winter when the electricity went out, we both found ourselves at the hotel up the street and...

Thank you for hosting many holidays throughout my childhood. Thank you for removing that coin I stuck in my nose. Best wishes on your next adventure. Love, Willie.

Joe was a partner, mentor and friend. He had a great dry sense of humor that will be missed. It was a sad day when he retired from ENT Specialists and an even sadder day when he passed. He will be missed by all of us who had the pleasure of working with him. Seema Byahatti

Joe was a brilliant Dr., a wonderful husband and a loving father. I have known the DiTroia family for over 50 years. A couple of memories that I have of Joe, was when my son was graduating from high school, in the mid eighties, he sent a very generous check to my son with a note, saying "well done". I remember telling Susan what a delightful surprise for my son and she said "he never said a word about it to me, but he does that sometimes with kids that he has admired" Another memory I...

Joe was a good, good man. He and my sister Susie had a wonderful life together, and the only good part of losing him is knowing that they are together again. Sending hugs!
