John Gaudio Obituary

I spent 4-5 years at another pediatric practice in the Valley when I was much younger and knew him only in passing. Fast forward 20 years and I return to do a temp job at PAK, where he was semi-retired and still did weekly shifts. He sat next to me for several months and talked about the changes and state of medical practice, about jazz, about families, anything really. Hope he is at peace.

May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Dr. Gaudio took care of our two girls for a very long time. He was a great pediatrician and a good hearted person. We will truly miss him.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Jack Gaudio as he took care of my 4 daughters. My late wife Polly loved Jack and Jane and I am sorry I missed his viewing and funeral as we don't get local papers and did know he died. I pray for him, wife Jane, and daughter Melissa.
God bless all of you, Bill Leanddri

He was a wonderful pediatrician. He took care of both of my children.

We were so sorry to learn of Dr. Gaudio's passing. Our family loved him at Pediatric Associates because of his kindness and obvious caring for our two sons. I was always delighted when we got an appointment with him. He seemed to have a special rapport with our youngest, also a pianist, but I never knew of the good Dr.'s interest and talent, but that might explain his obvious attentiveness and extraordinary devotion to that son in particular. But even prior to that, when on call, he actually made a "house call" at midnight when circumstances precluded our visit to the Dr.'s office with a baby screaming with ear pain. I'll be forever grateful to him for that kind and caring gesture. He was such a lovely, good man and we are so grateful that he was part of lives. We want to convey our sincerest sympathy to his family and friends on your sad loss. May your fond memories sustain you.

so sorry to hear of Dt. Gaudio's passing, I worked with him at WBGH in Peds on 6 NW and also took my children to Pediatric Associates for many years. He was always pleasant, kind to the children and had a great sense of humor. Sincere sympathy to his family, his life fulfilled.

My deepest condolences. Dr. Gaudio was my pediatrician (I’m 52!) as a kid and then I took my kids to him. Simply the best! All my kids loved him. He was so kind and took care of my oldest son who had significant special needs even though he didn’t take his insurance. He always checked in on him even after he went into St. Joe’s and I made sure they kept him in the loop. Such a wonderful human being and will be greatly missed!

My sincere condolences. Dr. Gaudio was my pediatrician from birth to adult. He was a wonderful, caring, knowledgeable physician. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Our Condolences to The Entire Family. R.I.P Doctor Gaudio. ❤ Cheryl,Robert,Robert Jr. Brianna and Carly.
The Falvo Family ❤

I worked with him at WBGH and enjoy our days and even nights with him.

Very sorry to hear this news. Wonderful man, gentle Doctor and true friend to my father. Praying for you both during this difficult time. Remember, we have memories to help us through.

Dr. Gaudio was my pediatrician until I went to college basically. I could not have had a kinder, wiser, caring doctor who truly was invested in his patient so much beyond the exam room. I will remember him for his patience, genuine concern and care and the kindness and empathy he always showed. He laid the foundation of my trust in doctors and the medical community that I depend on in many ways to this day. I am thankful he provided the care that was so critical to my development and I know I am not alone in the positive ripple effect that had on his many patients. My prayers for peace and comfort are with him and his family during this grief filled time. God Bless

Dr Gaudio was my pediatrician growing up until I went to college basically and I could not have had a better, kinder, loving, caring man as my caregiver. He was patient, wise and truly knew his patients and showed a compassion that becomes harder and harder to find in care providers today from my experience. I will remember him fondly as the main reason I trust my doctors and don’t ever mind going to the doctor’s office. He laid a foundation of trust in medicine and medical community that I am thankful I have to this day and I have no doubt I am not alone in the ripple effect of that which he created. My prayers are with him for peace and with his family for comfort and love through the grieving process. God Bless

Dr. Gaudio was my son's pediatrician & was there for his birth. My son is autistic & didn't like to be touched by medical professionals yet somehow Dr. Gaudio made him feel comfortable and my son welcomed his hugs. Thank you doctor for being so good to my son. Rest in peace and comfort and blessings to your family.

We are so sad to hear of the passing of Dr. Gaudio. He was my three sons Pediatrician in the 90´s for years.... He also kept their photo in a frame on his desk !!! We loved him , so kind! RIP great Doctor!!! Yashinski family

Melissa and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of such a great man who touched so many lives. l was a patient of Dr. Kluger until his passing. I was five at the time. Another doctor took his patients and when he walked in the exam room my mother recalls how I started screaming "I want my Dr. Kluger". I was adamant that I would not let him near me ever. When your Dad came, my mom said I just loved him. So, he must have been someone very special to be able to gain the trust and love of a little girl. When I was pregnant in 1999 and he was still practicing, I was worried he would retire soon and I did not want my child to get accustomed to one doctor and then have to change as I went through, so we picked Dr. Harris. However, if we had an issue and Dr. Harris was not in my next question was is Dr. Gaudio available? My two children could have been his patients also. I really cannot believe the amount of years he was a pediatrician. The area has lost a great doctor and a wonderful man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I remember how kind and caring Dr. Gaudio was when I worked at Pediatrics. Ann and I were so lucky to have a great Dr. to take care of our 4 children until they were all 21. He will be so missed. Mrs Gaudio and Melissa our prayers go out to you during this difficult time. God be with you!

Dr. Gaudio leaves behind a great legacy: the many children he cared for in his stellar career, mine being 2 of those many. His kindness and rapport with my children will always be remembered. Even after they were well into adulthood he would still ask about them when our paths crossed at St. Ignatius Church! Mrs. Gaudio and Melissa, you were truly blessed to have shared his life. I pray that you will have strength and courage to carry on knowing your husband and dad will not be forgotten.

It is with deep sadness I feel today learning about the passing of a great man. I knew Dr. Gaudio for 35 years. I worked with him at WBGH and Nesbitt hospitals. Always loved when he popped in on the 3-11 PM shift... He had a great, funny sense of humor and always made me smile. He'd walk in the nursery door and I would say " it's Jack!!!" I was so happy when I had children, he was the one we wanted to take care our sons. His soothing voice calmed their fears and mine too! I felt as though he loved all his patients as family. My sincere condolences to his wife and daughter. He loved talking about you! He will always be remembered as a old soul and one of the kindness gentleman I had the privilege to work besides! He will always be in my heart!

Sorry for your loss. Dr took care of my son who is now 56 years old. I have fond memories of Dr
Gaudio.

it's with a heavy heart that I learned today of Jacks passing. He will be missed by all who had contact with him.His affability and kindness were a positive example how a life should be lived. My condolances to you Jane and to Melissa. Life will never be the same.
Our very best
Mike, Tammie and the boys

How fortunate we were to have Dr. Gaudio in our area. He was an amazing, kind and caring doctor to all of his patients. He was my daughter's doctor in the 80's. She stayed with him until her 21st birthday. God bless you !

It saddens me that this great man has passed. I send my deepest condolences to his wife and daughter. Dr. Gaudio had taken care of my five children since they were born. My fifth child I had to have an emergency CSection and he was called to hurry to Nesbit Hospital to be there when my baby was born. He took great care with her. He used to call her his hurry up baby. I shall never forget him. May God Bless Him, May he rest in peace,and May his Memories be eternal.

Dear Jane and Melissa,Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your dear husband and dad. DrG was a wonderful person. He treated my three girls when they were young. He always had a smile and a story to share. You are both in my prayers. I am in Florida for a few months and will not be able to attend his Mass.

Dr Gaudio was my 3 children´s doctor the best there ever was (Richard, Jennifer, and Karen Szot) Rest in peace with God Doctor. Love, Judith (Szot) Ostrum and family

Condolences to Dr. Gaudio's family. He was the best pediatrician to my girls. Nothing but the best conversations and visits with Dr. Gaudio. Rest peacefully

Dr Gaudio was such a wonderful doctor but also an amazing man. He always was caring with my boys. I loved his honesty and loved him for his old school days. I am so thankful for him and his guidance on helping me thru many, many years.
Our condolences to his family and to everyone who was lucky enough to have known him.

Dr. Gaudio was such a caring doctor and our sons were his patients in the late 70s thru the 90s. We have been blessed and are so thankful for the input he had in their early years. They remembered the fun toys, puzzles, etc. that were in the waiting room, the many shots they got, and the care and attention he always gave. They enjoyed going to see their friend, Dr. Gaudio, and never cried about going to his office. We will treausre the memories of such a kind, caring man.
We are so sorry for your loss and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Such sad news, he treated my children and grandchildren . Wonderful man. Rest in peace .

So sorry to hear the sad news. I always thought Jack was such a fine gentleman. Hoping you find peace in friends and prayer. Fondly, Gloria

So, so sorry to learn of our loss of Dr. Gaudio. I had the honor to work side by side with him at Nesbitt Hospital & WBGH OB nursery departments for many years. I will miss bumping into him and chatting about current events, the state of healthcare and just "shop talk". He will be sadly missed by many. Condolences, thoughts and prayers for his family, friends, coworkers and patients.

My children were patients at Pediatric Associates for many years. It was the most comfortable office for a young mother to take her child to due to the care and compassion of Dr.Gaudio. My condolences to Jane and Melissa because I know their loss is great. My prayers and thoughts are with them.

So sad to learn of Dr. Gaudio's passing. He treated my children for many years and was a true credit to his profession as evidenced by the many messages shared here. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Rest in peace doc you were a doctor for my sons

So sad to hear this morning of Dr. Gaudio's passing. I was honored to work for him in the pediatric office many years ago. Remembering his canny sense of humor, compassion and kindness to his patients are a few traits to be mentioned. Condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

Dr Gaudio. If you only knew how many times I cried to go back to you after I grew up. You gave so much of yourself and I want to thank you for a healthy and happy childhood. Much love. Julia Haas

Captain, you are now relieved from your post. A job well done fellow veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom and democracy. The final battle is now over and peace has been restored. The final bugle has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Farewell fellow veteran. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.

So sorry for the loss. He was our children pediatrician and our boys loved to go see him. He always had great conversations with them. We absolutely loved him. He will be missed.

I had the pleasure and honor to work with Dr G for many years. A wonderful and caring doctor. I remember him having me come into his office and go on to tell a joke he had just thought of while smiling ear to ear. Sympathies to Mrs G and Melissa. Dr G will never be forgotten. With Love, Patti Williams

Dr Gaudio was one of the nicest, most caring person & doctor that we´ve ever known. He was an exemplary doctor for my children, as well as, a great parenting resource to us. He treated you as if you were family Our children loved him & were sad when they reached the age when they outgrew pediatrics & had to find a new doctor.
Our thoughts, prayers and sympathy go out to his family, as I know they will surely miss him.
Rest in peace, doctor
He was such a great man in so many ways...a life well lived!

I cannot find the words to say about Dr Gaudio´s passing. I worked as a nurse for 30 yrs with Dr. Gaudio. and enjoyed every minute of it. He was kind and compassionate and loved all of his patients. He never forgot a name or when he treated them. He had a very special wit about him and enjoyed laughing with his staff. He idolized his wife, Jane, and daughter Melissa. I will never forget him and I will miss him immensely. Rest in peace Dr G

My sincere condolences to Dr Gaudio´s family. He was an intern when I was a student nurse at St Luke´s in Bethlehem; later we worked together at Mercy Hospital in Wilkes Barre. He was an excellent physician and a good man, a true family man. May he rest in peace eternal.

We took our children, ten years apart, to Dr. Gaudio for over 25 years. They loved him. He always remembered the details of their life on each visit: the school, their interests, and so on. He took his time with each visit. He amazed me. Dr. Gaudio's genuine caring and concern for each child, along with his great ability to diagnose and treat, was a rare combination.
Our children grew past the age of visits with him, yet I've often wondered how he was doing. My sympathy to Mrs. Gaudio, their daughter and other family and those who loved him.
