Joseph Kyrillos Obituary
Red Bank - Dr. Joseph M. Kyrillos, of Red Bank, NJ, passed away peacefully in his sleep on December 3, 2018 at The Atrium at Navesink Harbor.
Devoted to his wife and children, he was a widely respected pediatrician, beloved by his family, friends, patients and all who knew him. During his lifetime he was a global traveler, remaining close with his family in Lebanon, an avid gardener, a skilled bridge player and most recently, an accomplished painter.
Born in Byblos, Lebanon on December 11, 1929, he was graduated from College de la Sagesse in Beirut. He went on to obtain his medical degree at Saint Joseph's University, French Faculty of Medicine, and came to the United States to complete his residency in pediatrics at St. Michael's Medical Center in Newark, NJ.
Dr. Kyrillos was married to Marguerite Kyrillos (nee Shlala) for more than 60 years. They were married May 11, 1958.
A practicing pediatrician in Middletown for more than 50 years—first in private practice and later with the Medical Health Center of Middletown—he saw his last patients at age 85.
He is survived by his wife, Margo; his children, former Senator Joseph, Jr. and Susan Kyrillos of Middletown and their children Max and Georgia; Jean-Claude and Barbara Kyrillos of La Jolla, CA and their children Alexandra, Christina, Carl and Ben; Dr. Janine Kyrillos of Narberth, PA and her son Eddie; and Jean-Paul and Dannielle Kyrillos of New York City and their children Caspian and Calliope; and his brothers, Jean Kyrillos and Antoine Kyrillos and their families of Beirut, Lebanon.
Visitation will be at Thompson Memorial Home at 310 Broad Street, Red Bank, NJ on Friday, December 7 from 4-8pm. A funeral service will be held at Tower Hill Church, 255 Harding Road, Red Bank, NJ on Saturday, December 8 at 1 pm. His family in Lebanon will also be celebrating a Catholic Mass in his honor at their church in Beirut. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in his honor to the Riverview Medical Center Foundation, Pediatrics Department, 1 Riverview Plaza, Red Bank, NJ 07701.

Dear Mrs. Kyrillos and family, I just learned of Dr. Kyrillos' passing. I am so sorry . My sister and I were among your husband's first patients at his office in Matawan. He was so kind and caring. Although I later moved to Forked River, your husband was the physician I chose to care for my 4 sons until we moved to Florida in 1987. May you all be comforted by your memories. God bless you all.
