My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Dr. Martoccia was my Mother's doctor. On Saturdays when he would visit my Mother, he would bring Jackson with him. My Mother loved to see them coming in. She asked me to buy some suckers, so she would have something to give to Jackson when he came in. Its hard losing someone so young, but heaven will be bless and I am sure my Mother was glad to see him. May GOD bless you during this time.

Dr. Martoccia saved my husband's life in 1999 and at that time we did not have insurance and he NEVER asked us for a dime and when we went to make a payment on my husband's bill he had put it at a zero balance, he was a GREAT man and a even GREATER Dr. My prayer go out to the family, God is good all the time and all the time God is good.

Gina, Marty, Chip, Kathy & Susan,
We were so sad reading Davids name in the obit's today. The Martoccia memories started many years ago on 36th St., then at Infants & Children where I was a nurse. Dr O'Hara knew those kids well! Then our children became friends in NPB and Newman. David saved me many hours of time by driving Kevin to Newman, years later I learned why Kevin liked riding with David...They made a lot of stops for breakfast and were late for school!!! I admired David's determination to get in medical school. I knew he would be a kind and gentle physician. Gina and Marty we are so sorry. Tom and I will keep you and David's family in our prayers. Hugs to all.

Dr. Martoccia was my husband's doctor and he always enjoyed his visit with him. I think they would talk about every thing they could think to talk about. Some doctor make you feel below them, but not Dr. Martoccia. He was always so kind to my husband and to all of his patients. He was one of a kind. Our loss but God's gain. God bless you Mrs. Martoccia and family.

At this difficult time, I want you to know that you are in my prayers. Dr. Martoccia was a wonderful doctor to my father, for which I appreciate. When my father passed away, Dr. Martoccia extended condolences to my family. He would often speak to me when I would see him in the YMCA. I am saddened at his loss, but grateful to have known him. May God's mercy, the testimonies of Dr. Martoccia's patients and your loving memories of his purposeful life bring you comfort.
