One of his greatest gift to us was a not one but TWO Dr Martucci's to help fill in his footsteps,and he left big ones !
I know we can't take away the pain, but maybe these condolences with help dull it, know you are in our thoughts and prayer and Dr John was loved ! !

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have my memories of your father doing his house calls to the "Kress Farm". He was always there when our family needed him. I remember as a child going to his office and he always made things better... As I grew up I always had Dr. Bill to follow in his footsteps and he was just like his father.... I moved away and missed this family practice as being my doctors. They are the best! Dr. John has earned many wings into heaven for all he gave to everyone. I still remember the night he came to the house and helped my mother. May God Bless him and your family..... We just recently lost our mother in January and I'm sure they already met each other again in heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.. God Bless.
