Philip Joseph, Jr., age 84, on September 2, 2024, of Havertown, PA.

Philip was an outstanding, accomplished engineer who graduated at the top of his class from the University of Pennsylvania. He worked for PECO, earned his Senior Reactor Operating License and was instrumental in the planning and startup of Limerick Nuclear Generating Station. After retiring from PECO, he was employed by Delmarva Power, and Salem Nuclear Generating Station.

He worked in the nuclear industry until he was 76.

Outside of work, he enjoyed anything to do with puzzles and numbers, loved space and astronomy, had a lifetime love of fishing, and was an avid Philadelphia Sports Fan. His faith and love for God was strong but his greatest love, besides his wife, was his family.

He is pre-deceased by his parents, Philomena and Philip J. Duca, Sr., M.D., and his daughter-in-law, Cheryl Marie.

He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Isabelle Marie (nee Thompson) Duca, who he adored from the time he met her when he was 17. He is also survived by his 4 children, Philip J. Duca III (Adriane), Jacqui Fallon (Patrick), Maria Boyd (Carl), and Christopher Duca, his 10 grandchildren, his 5 great-grandchildren, and his siblings, Joseph Duca, Sr. (Patricia), Barbara Caldwell, Sr. (Warren), and Joanne Ellison (David, Sr.).

Relatives & friends are invited to join his family at Sacred Heart Church in Havertown, PA for visitation on Saturday, September 14th from 9:00 AM – 10:15 AM followed by his Funeral Mass at 10:30 AM. Interment is private.

Just learned of Phil and Isabelle passing. My deepest sympathy to the Duca family. They were true friends to my wife Camille and I. So many fond memories especially our get together for dinner and New Year’s Eve celebration. May they both rest in peace.

Pop, you always treated me like one of your daughters and my family as if they were a part of yours. I will miss that smile and the warm hug I used to get when I saw you. I’ll miss our discussions about the Phillies old and new. My heart breaks knowing you’re gone but I know you’re no longer in pain and in a better place. Rest in Peace Pop until we meet again ❤️
