I'm so sorry to hear this news today. Dr. Loduca has been my mom's dentist as well as mine and my children ever since he opened his first office on Kedzie in Mt. Greenwood. I'll never find a more qualified, kinder or gentle dentist. Heaven has gained a true angel with my parents.

TO THE GOOD DOCTOR:
He was interested in you as a complete person.
He wanted to know about you and your life.
He always spoke softly, but looked you in the eye.
He was gentle of hand, and in all other ways.
He was caring.
He was fair.
He was generous.
He will always be missed.
He will never be forgotten.
Farewell, good doctor.

I'm so sorry to hear about his passing. I've known him as son- in-law of our late neighbors Marion & Harriet Lance& dear husband of Nancy, respected dentist in the neighborhood. Had the privilege of having him as a Homehealth patient for a short time, though very sick, he was always nice and pleasant. Heaven gained another angel! May he Rest In Peace! My sincere condolences to Nancy and entire family!

Heaven certainly gained one of the best. He was my family dentist for at least 15 years and my kids and I actually looked forward to appointments. How many can say they looked forward to going to the dentist? I'm so saddened by this news, but he will never be forgotten. We are all blessed to have known him.

Dr Joe was my dentist from 1979 to 2002, I moved out of state. He was the family dentist, my son, my sister's, their children. He was the best; I have had 4 dentists in the last 16 years; no one can compare. May the Lord comfort family and friends.

Dr. Loduca was my family's dentist for almost 40 years. He had always taken the time to ask about my mother (who has now passed) and my father. He knew I was a teacher, so we always chatted about my latest classes. We were shocked to hear he was so sick. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. He will be missed.
