DR. JOSEPH FREDERICK LAUCIUS

Dr. Laucius was my Mom's oncologist from 1987-1994. His kindness and gentle humor made life so much better. She looked forward to her appointments and treatment. We would go get lunch or dinner afterwards, she wanted to do all she could to stay well. Dr. Laucius made a big difference in her journey, for family as well. He will always be remembered with gratitude. Thank you.

Dr. Laucius saved my life in 1998, I just heard of his passing and will always be grateful to him, his kindness and humor.

I served with Fred at a 1st Infantry Division Clearing Company as a physician. I also was. The flight surgeon for our Dustoff unit. We were very close. He was a remarkable person and will be remembered as such. Robert Kent Webb, M.D.

This was very comforting to me at that time. My father, Dr. Toland, Also was a...

Sorry for your loss. Fred was a wonderful colleague and person.

Fred was a beloved and respected member of our 1967 Class at Jefferson Medical College. He was a true gentleman. I was always so impressed that he was a graduate of Swarthmore College. He was highly regarded by his patients and always spoke lovingly of his family. I was looking forward to seeing him at our 55th Reunion in October 2022. May his memory serve as a blessing. I will miss him greatly.

My sadness and shock upon learning of the passing my friend of nearly 60 years was beyond words.
No, not now, I thought. We haven’t talked enough. We’ve never taken the time to talk about our friendship, about what really matters in life. Too much time spent on the superficial; the Phillies, the Eagles.
To my everlasting regret I often in recent years took our friendship for granted, was tardy in responding to his calls. He called days before his death and left a brief...
