\t\t\tDr. Hugo Mori \t\t<\/p>\n
\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n
Dr. Hugo Mori passed away peacefully on November 20. He was born in 1935 to Primo and Victoria (Ciuferri) Mori in Old Forge, Pennsylvania. Hugo graduated from Old Forge High School where he studied hard and treasured being a member of the Old Forge basketball and baseball teams. Decades later, people would recall the shot he made from mid-court at the Catholic Youth Center in Scranton. Hugo completed his degree at Penn State University and proudly served two years in the U.S. Navy in Charleston, SC. He moved to Philadelphia where he graduated from Jefferson Medical College and completed a urology residency. Hugo married his high school sweetheart and lifelong companion, Jean Stavisky, and they raised two daughters, Maria and Eugenia. He eventually split his time between Clarks Summit, PA and Longboat Key, FL.<\/p>\n
\nIn 1967, Hugo joined his brother Gino to open his urology practice in Scranton, PA which grew and evolved into Delta Medix where he worked until his retirement in 2001. Hugo loved being a physician. He was fascinated by the surgical cases, enjoyed interacting with office and hospital staff, and most of all, appreciated the opportunity to treat patients with dignity and care.<\/p>\n
\nHugo was an avid reader, frequently consulting the dictionary to expand his vocabulary, and was enthusiastic about the theater. His happiest moments were on the tennis court with his wife or dear friends. His grandchildren will always remember his lessons on volleying. Hugo was a fierce competitor on the court, and yet, he was modest and soft-spoken. He was sincerely warm, generous and kind to every person he encountered.<\/p>\n
\nThe last 15 years, he suffered with Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Even then, he never forgot to say thank you for the many gifts in his life, and he always insisted that the ladies go through the door first.<\/p>\n
\nHugo leaves behind his admired and cherished brother Gino (and wife Jean deceased), his devoted brother-in-law Eli and Paula Stavisky, and wonderful nieces and nephews. Hugo was predeceased by his loving wife Jean in May 2024. He is survived by his beloved children Maria and Robert Brooks of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Eugenia and Scott McCauley of Palo Alto, California, adored grandchildren, Carson and Jackie, Anthony and Justine, and Sophia Brooks, and three beautiful great-grandchildren.<\/p>\n
