Just learned of the death of Dr. DelGuercio. He was a demanding but fair man. Will always remember breakfast in the cafeteria after ICU rounds while he smoked his cigar. Belated condolences to his family Marc Finkelstein

Dr. Del Guercio was a wonderful teacher and mentor. I was truly honored to work under him while my department was under the General Surgery Division.
He will be greatly missed.

I was sorry to hear today of "the boss's" passing last month. I was one of the female surgical residents who helped him gain the distinction of having graduated the most female surgeons in the country. Despite his fame as an "MCP", he was always fair, and demanding of the best of all who worked under him, and was a wonderful human being. My sympathies to his family.
