Dr Di Bello treated 4 generations of my family, starting with my great grandparents when he first became a family doctor. They don´t make em like him anymore. It was such a privilege to be treated by a man who was the epitome of a true Doctor. Just having him there to give his trusted medical advice gave me and my family such peace of mind. I can´t think of a single time where his diagnosis or recommendations were in error. He put his patients welfare above his own, and he dedicated his entire life to improving the lives of others. I remember quite a few times when he personally came to my grandfather´s home to treat him. He truly went above and beyond any other doctor that I´ve ever met. I really don´t have the words to express my respect and admiration for this great man. I still think of him often. I can still see him in his suit, standing in the doorway to his office. I can still hear his voice answering his office phone. It always brings a smile to my face. I have many fond childhood memories of going to his office when his sister Delores was working as his secretary. His life was truly meaningful, because he spent the entirety of it doing what he loved. He will be sorely missed.

I'm just now hearing of my wonderful Dr DiBellos passing. I moved away from Philadelphia some time ago but. He was our family Dr since I was in 3rd grade at Brown school. I am now 70 years old and until a few years ago would seek out Dr DiBello at Nazereth just to say hello. My mother worshiped him as we all did and he took care of both my parents until their passing. He was always there when you needed him even if you had to sit outside on the wall waiting your turn. Yes we go back to his basement office in fact my mother use to say our family was one of his first patients. I will never forget this man and his kindness. So long doc hope to meet you again

Condolences to Mrs. DiBello and your entire family. Dr DiBello was our family my parents family doctor until the passing of my Mother in December 2016 and my Father when Dr. DiBello retired last month. He also took care of my brother and myself until we married and moved out of the area. He was truly someone who cared about his patients and I had the honor to know him. My Father had me take him to stop and see the Doctor as he retired.

My husband lived most of his life just up the street from Dr. Di Bello. I often heard stories from his family about what a wonderful doctor he was and how well he had taken care of them over the years. My mother-in-law Alice, a widow with 3 small boys, would sometimes find it necessary to call Dr. Di Bello in the night if one of her boys should fall ill. He would happily make a house call no matter the hour. How blessed she was to have had him to rely on.
After hearing about this extraordinary man for many years, I finally had occasion to meet him when our 5 year old daughter became mysteriously ill while we were visiting family on holiday from VA. We were frightened, far from home and our pediatrician! Doc did not hesitate to fit us into his already busy schedule and after a few blood tests, quickly diagnosed the problem. On our last visit with him before heading home, as we were leaving his office I said to my daughter, Say goodbye and thank Dr. Di Bello. She surprised us all when she turned, ran back and tightly hug his legs. We could clearly see how touched he was by this gesturehe was such a compassionate man it makes me tear up even now to remember it. After we were home he called regularly to ask about Bridget's progress until he was satisfied that she was 100% well again. There is no doubt Dr.Di Bello's passing has left a gaping hole in the hearts of those who loved and admired him. We count ourselves among them and will be saying prayers for the repose of his beautiful soul and to ask God to send comfort to his family at this most difficult time.

Angelo M Dibello M.D. delivered me into the world 61 years ago on July 9, 1955 and has been my doctor ever since. He has always been there for me and has never once diagnosed me incorrectly throughout my entire life. I have the honor of being one of the first infant deliveries of his career. Dr. DiBello has been an integral part of my life consistently until is passing. He knew me more than any other living human being has known me and his love and care for me will live on forever.

Dear Mrs. DiBello and family, I am deeply saddened and so very sorry for your tremendous loss. Dr. DiBello was my parents' physician for 50+ years and was my physician for 34 years. He saved my life in August 1969. He and I spoke of that time until recently. Dr. was always very professional, friendly, kind and comforting. A true medical professional. He will be missed. May the love of family and friends sustain you at this time, and may sweet memories bring comfort and peace in the coming days. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you!
