Statement of Nilda Ruiz, President & CEO of APM
on the passing of APM Vice President of Human Services Marcus Delgado

           APM mourns along with the family and friends of the late Marcus Delgado, who passed away on Monday, November 10, at Abington Memorial Hospital surrounded by his adoring family.

Marcus Delgado devoted his career to remembering those others often forgot. His 15 years at APM were spent ensuring that we were proactive in housing the homeless, feeding the hungry, and providing bilingual/bicultural early childhood education services to our community’s children.

            His career was long before he arrived at APM, but throughout decades of service, the common denominator was a devotion to his family and the needs of Philadelphia’s Puerto Rican/Latino community. Many of those he served and many of those who served with him mourn this great loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with all who share our grief.
