Ali Dennis Guillermo, a nurse at Long Island Community Hospital, died on April 7 after contracting Covid-19. He was hailed as a selfless father and compassionate health care provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guillermo, 44, of East Patchogue, came to Long Island from the Philippines in 2004 to provide a better upbringing for his family, wife Romielyn said. She said the hospital in East Patchogue was recruiting nurses from their country at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the Philippines, the big dream is to come to the U.S.,\u201d Romielyn said in a telephone interview. \u201cThat\u2019s how we could help our family, especially financially.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guillermo, the second known nurse on Long Island to have died amid the Covid-19 pandemic, met his wife at nursing school in the Philippines and quickly made his mark among his new health care colleagues on Long Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEveryone who ever worked with him loved him,\u201d said Cathy Santacroce-Worwetz, a 29-year nurse at LICH. \u201cHe was always there with a helping hand if you needed him. He made us laugh. He loved life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guillermo earned a reputation among his colleagues for making the overnight shifts go quickly, thanks to his fun-loving, upbeat attitude and willingness to do more than his share of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAli was the most thorough, gentle, kindest, funniest nurse I ever had the pleasure to work with,\u201d nurse Kassandra Cozier said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He loved to sing, dance \u2014 and take the workload off others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
