Mary Lou, and family, Alice and I were sadden to learn of Wink's passing. As I reflect on our times on the squash court, it was not his competitiveness that I remember most, but his innate sense of fair play. Wink was truly a compassionate man and we will miss him. John and Alice Long

Dear Mary Lou, Danny, Kathy and Elizabeth, From my first encounter with Dr. Deluca in July, 1973 at my first job as a nurse, I knew Wink was a special Physician. From that day he become my teacher, my mentor and my friend. I thought of him as my second Dad. As his Practice Nurse for years, his inability to close the cupboards in the break room and his messy desk drove me crazy, but amazingly he could plunge his hand into that chaos and pull out the correct paper. I came to know and care for all the Delduca’s over time. Thought of you often in these last difficult years. Today seeing his smiling face in the paper brought me joy. I can picture Friday night sign out in the conference room. The docs around the table passing around the the can Charlie’s Chips. Not leaving until each patient’s case was thoroughly discussed. My Deepest Sympathy. Hugs to all!! Susan Mulvihill

Dear Mary Lou and family, Bill and I send our deepest condolences. My favorite memories of Wink are our signouts late Saturday nights when we shared weekend call; he always continued extensive discussions of patients and their problems with love. His insights and knowledge were great gifts. In later years we shared good times at OLLI where he made many contributions. Thinking of you from Henrico Virginia. Lois Dow

As a leukemia patient, I was very lucky to have him as my doctor. He got me through some very tough times. After his retirement we didn't meet up any more but I never forgot him. I will always remember him as a kind, compassionate human being in addition to being an excellent doctor!

Dr. Del Duca was one of my favorite attendings at CCHS. I met him in 2000- he came in when he was semi-retired to teach the residents once a week. Not only was Dr. Del Duca incredibly knowledgeable, he was also patient and kind. I always enjoyed running into him over the years at medical events. I was sorry to hear the news. He was a wonderful doctor and teacher and will be missed.

Dear Mary Lou, Danny, Josie, Kathy, Elizabeth and Teddy, Abby, and Carter: How grateful we are to Danny for sharing this obituary! Please know you’re in our thoughts and prayers during this time. Wink’s vibrant smile in this photo is what I remember about him - that and he always seemed to be doing something adventurous outdoors when we’d see him - hiking, skiing, even just a jog before a wedding ceremony! He was always kind. We know he’ll be missed by many. Wishing you peace…the St. Peter Family (Heidi, Hollis, Olivia, Jack, and Theo)

Dear Del Duca Family, Jean and I wish to express our heart felt condolences. We both have fond memories of Wink from the "old days" being fellow graduates in the class of '51 from Moorestown High School. Wink and I grew up together in the Stanwick section of Moorestown, competed for the "first seat" at Our Lady of Good Counsel, and spent many hours playing ball and shooting baskets at our farm. He was always enthusiastic in all his endeavors, a great guy and a good boyhood friend. I regret not getting to know him better as an adult but always enjoyed our reuniting at class reunions and chance meetings. The smile in his photo is how I remember him. Howard and Jean Shivers
