Dr. Louis J. Giordano Jr., 71, of Clarks Summit, died in his sleep on September 17th at Mountain View Care Center following a brief illness.
Born in Throop to the late Louis and Vera (Mancini) Giordano, Louis graduated from Scranton Preparatory School with the class of 1959. He graduated from the University of Scranton and then received his dental training at Temple University Dental School. He served as a Captain in the Air Force and was stationed in Plattsburg, N.Y., in the late 1960s.
Following his service in the Air Force, Louis started his dental practice in Dunmore. He remained a fixture in Dunmore and the dental community for more than 40 years. He loved his work and was one of a select few to earn his post doctorate master's degree in dentistry. As much as he loved his work, he truly enjoyed the great relationships he developed with his patients throughout his career.
He was a devoted father to his three children, serving as an assistant coach for many of their sports teams. He served as the president of the board of the Humane Society of Lackawanna County and was a driving force for the North East chapter of the Antique Automobile Association. His hobbies and interests were many and diverse; he was a wine maker, golfer, pilot, train collector, antique car owner, Philadelphia sports fan, avid reader, dancer and gardener. He will be greatly missed by the hundreds of people who had the pleasure to know him.
He is survived by his children and former wife, Pamela Giordano; son, Louis III; two daughters, Mrs. Jill Blom and Mrs. Amanda Martino; sister, Mary Reilly; two grandchildren, Sean and Clara; many nieces and nephews; and countless close friends, including his "angel" Patricia Emerick.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday at 10 a.m. from Our Lady of the Snows Church, 301 South State St., Clarks Summit. Interment will be private in St. John's Cemetery, Jessup.
Friends may call on Sunday from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home, 418 South State St., Clarks Summit, PA. Memorials may be made to The American Heart Association , P.O. Box 163549, Columbus, OH 43216-3549; or the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter, 967 Griffin Pond Road, South Abington Twp., PA 18411.
