Joseph Monti Obituary

MONTI--Joseph. The North Shore -LIJ Health System mourns the loss of our longtime friend and Trustee, Joseph Monti. The determination and generosity of Joe and his beloved wife Tita revolutionized cancer care on Long Island. Following the death of their son Don in 1972, they turned a family tragedy into a vision of hope and inspiration for thousands of cancer patients across Long Island by establishing the Don Monti Memorial Research Foundation and The Don Monti Division of Medical Oncology/Hematology at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, NY. As saddened as we are by Joe's death, we take solace in knowing that he is now reunited with Tita, who passed away in June 2006. We extend our sincerest condolences to their children, Caroline Monti-Saladino and Richard Monti, and the entire Monti family. Saul Katz, Chairman Michael Dowling, President & CEO

I was so sorry to hear of your loss, I can still remember the day Joe Monti hired me. I was so nervous, but his warm and caring words made me accept the position. It was a great experience working with him, and all of you. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this very sad time. May God bless you all and may Mr. Monti rest in peace.

I want to extend my sincere condolences to the Monti and Saladino families. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I have so many happy memories of my first job at the Crest Hollow. I had the gift of being able to work with my Dad and my two sisters along with a number of other families. Mr. Monti treated us as part of his family. May he rest in peace with his beloved wife.

Caroline & Richard - I am so sorry to learn of your father's passing. He was such an important part of my life - giving me an opportunity to learn the catering business from him over 20 years ago, and I have since continued in this field. He was kind, loving, patient and above all generous in every way. There are times when people pass through our lives, and though we move on, they are never forgotten. Your father was this person in my life - instrumental in forming my career path - and I have always carried with me the lessons and skills that he taught me. Both of you are a true testament to him. Please know that I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers, and I will carry warm memories of your dad in my heart.

Joe and Tita Monti were very kind to my parents. My father worked for Joe and I recall my father holding him in very high regard. While my mother was ill, the Monti's were instrumental in helping to coordinate the appropriate care. My family also knew the Monti's for many years on a personal level as we are close with Tita's sister's family as well. Kind, generous people the Monti's were. Rest in peace Joe.
