Joseph T. Thornton M.D.

Dr Joan and family, I am so sorry to hear of of the passing of your Dad, husband, Grandpa, uncle. He was a wonderful man! I had the honor of being part of his care in the recovery room years ago. Even in his suffering, he was such a cheerful, faith-filled man. He was never lacking in something good to say about others... a very loving man! He will be missed by so many, but as I remind myself after the loss of one of my sons, you will be together again someday in God´s Kingdom. Mary Ellen Geglia RN

Sorry to hear of Dr. Thornton's passing. I was a patient of his many years ago, along with 2 of my sisters. He was always so kind and could joke with you too. My condolences to the family. He had a wonderful career!

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Joe was a great Dr. and a loyal friend to so many. He will be missed.

Jet, Joan & Family,
Truly a great loss for everyone. Joe is such a great guy with an awesome sense of humor and many wonderful stories. We will miss him!! Sincere sympathies to the entire family.

To the family of Dr. Joseph Thornton..
I am sorry for your loss. He was my first Obgyn doctor and cared for me through my four pregnancies. He was always so supportive and caring. My thoughts and prayers are with you

Joan and family,
I have so many fond memories of your dad ! He was truly one of a kind and I loved working with him! He always treated me with respect and was appreciative of all I did ! I´m sure there will be many moments that his presence will be missed especially his wonderful sense of humor! God bless you all in the days ahead! Dr. Thornton is for sure flying with the angels above!! I am unable to attend service due to medical condition but send my love !

We are very sorry to hear about the passing of Dr. Thornton. Such a nice man and dedicated Dr. Our deepest condolences.

To you Joan and the family. What a loss to all of us. He was a special person. Wish that I could be with you today but I can´t be. Know that my prayers and special thoughts are with you all.

What an incredible human being. Dr. T delivered my first born. He weighed 9 lbs. Dr. said you best saddle him up to go home. He´s a big guy. Dr.T & his nurse Bobbie Draper were quite a team in his office. Sorry to hear if his passing. I know he suffered quite a while. Rest in peace. A job well done.

I Must agree with "DR. JOE´S" `Great Sense of Humor" as noted previously. I received a full portion as the attending Anesthesiologist at "old St. JOE´S HOSPITAL" one night on a usually very busy night in the OR, I laid down in the call room, removed my scrubs when Joe called and said "I have a woman with a gun shot wound with twins in the delivery room!" Quickly attempting to get my scrub pants back on as I ran up the stairs to OB, tripping myself, I arrived fully clothed- no gun shot wound but a masterful forceps delivery for the second neonoate after a spinal anesthetic performed by the master. Lost art, just like the loss of a great family man and physician who delivered my oldest son Aaron. Rest in peace, I will never forget you

To the Thornton Family,
Hugs to you all. You are in my prayers. The Schoeneck family have many memories with your dad through the years.

I will always remember Doctor Joseph Thornton as my FAVORITE Obstetrician (who cared for me during my pregnancies and delivered my three children), a colleague who I worked beside in Labor & Delivery at Saint Joe's for 20+ years, but most of all my FRIEND!! Rest in peace, Joe!! My prayers will continue for Joan and your entire family. You will be missed!

I would like to say Thank to this great man and his family. We will pray for all of you. Especially for the Repose of the soul of Dr. Joseph Thornton. Family friend and Outstanding Obgyn and Good Faithful Catholic Man. Peace be with you Dr. Joseph Thornton. Love Regina (Longo)

So sorry to hear about Dr. Thornton, he was the nicest man and had the best sense of humor. I loved working with him at Community Hospital. Condolences to Pat and family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

He delivered both my babies and I got a picture of him with both. He was a kind, dedicated doctor who I was fortunate to have as my obstetrician. My condolences to his family.

Joan, Jet, and family,
I am sorry to hear of Joe´s passing. He was loved by so many colleagues and dedicated to his care of women and children. Know that you are in my prayers.

Mrs Thornton, Jet, Patty, Mike, Tom, Sue, and the entire Thornton and Alberts family,
We are so sorry to hear the news of the passing of the Doctor. All through the many summers at the lake, Doctor Thornton always had such a positive outlook and quick wit during the conversations on the deck or down by the water. We will miss his cheerful commentary on life, his wisdom he extended to us, and his friendship with our family through the past fifty summers. These moments will be sorely missed. Camp life will not be the same.
We are so sorry for your loss and will miss the Doctor. Eric and Darra

Joan, Jet & family,
So sorry for your loss. We will miss Doc and all his jokes and stories by the pool at MBC. He will be greatly missed by all.
