My entire family was a patient of Dr Luciano for many many years. He was always available 24-7 and would come to the house. He will be missed here on earth but will be well received with God and all our families that have passed. For the entire Bertanza family our condolences to the Luciano family.

Michael, your father was not only my doctor, a friend but a mentor to me through the years. He took care of me since I was a baby. Believe this he made house calls and then took care of my children. He had a great approch to life. I'm glad he was part of my memories and my life. They don't make them like him anymore. I will miss him. Sam Ginicola (Deltona,FL)

Dear Mike:
You and your family have my deepest sympathies on the passing of your father. I recall our days as teammates on West Side and how highly I thought of your dad. He and my dad used to seek each other out when we were on the field. Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in my thoughts and prayers.
