I share my memory of Dr. Vincent J. Fontana back to the years when he was my allergy doctor in a midtown office in
NYC...
He was a truly devoted doctor and I have memories of following his career at the NY
Foundling Hospital.
He will always be remembered by those who knew him.
Rest in peace, Dr. Fontana...
A devout and devoted doctor. Not another one like Dr. Vincent Fontana. I shall n
God bless you and rest in peace

Our heartfelt sorrow and sadness that our beloved Dr. Fontana is gone from us. His extended family, of which I belong, have long been so very, very, proud of Dr. Fontana. His love for children and great accomplishments will serve as his legacy forever. Our love and thoughts go out to Joe, his brother and Lee, his sister.

May his dedication and concern for children be an inspiration to those professionals who will follow in his path. Children and the medical community have lost a great friend. My deepest sympathy to those that loved him and that he loved.

My friend and mentor. The last time I saw him he urged me to "stay young". He always managed to do that himself. I'll miss you Jim.

Dr. Fontana was my allergist in the 1970s when I was a little boy suffering from asthma. The reassurance I felt when I was in his care, and the charisma that he brought into a room made him a hero to me. Although it has been decades since I had seen him, I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

My sympathy and prayers are with all the family and close friends of Dr. Fontana. He and I worked together in the NY Foundling Hospital on Sixty-Eighth and Third in the late 1970s. A great man!
