Thomas William Rosata, Jr., age 77, of Sun City Center, FL, formerly Norwood, passed away peacefully on March 6, 2024 surrounded by his loving family. He was the husband of the late Jean Marie (Federico) and son of the late Thomas William Rosata, Sr. and Catherine (O’Brien) Rosata.
Tom was a graduate of Norwood High School, class of 1964, and went on to serve in the Navy from 1965-1968, where he was stationed in San Diego and deployed on an aircraft carrier off the coast of Vietnam. Upon his return, he followed in his father’s footsteps and became an electrician with Local 103, working alongside his brother, Bob. In 1969, Tom married his high school sweetheart, Jean Federico, and together they moved to Medway where they raised their family. There he resided until he retired and moved to Florida.
Tom loved golf, fishing, and Keno, but it was his role as a father and grandfather that Tom cherished above all. He taught his family the value of hard work and perseverance, and his presence was a constant at his children's and grandchildren’s sporting events. Many will remember Tom for his coaching and cheering from the sidelines. Tom’s family meant everything to him, and he is already deeply missed. His memory will live on in all who knew and loved him.
Tom is survived by his daughters Temma Downing, with her fiancé, Tony Carlucci, of Franklin; Tara Taccini, with her husband, Mark Taccini, of Franklin; his sons Christopher Rosata, with his fiancée, Regina Garvey, of Northbridge; Derek Rosata of Woonsocket, RI. He is also survived by his grandchildren Brayden, Riley and Shaw Downing of Franklin; Cooper, Quinn, Kellan and Cade Taccini of Franklin. Additionally, he is survived by his siblings, Gail Leavitt of Chatham; Robert Rosata, with his wife, Jodi, of Scituate; Maryanne Laviano of Sun City, FL; his sister-in-laws, Donna Flynn, with her husband, Mike Flynn, of Franklin; Carol Federico of Franklin; his brother-in-law, Ronald Cote, of Sun City, FL; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
Tom is predeceased by his wife, Jean Marie (Federico); his sister, Janet Cote, of Sun City Center, FL; his brother-in-law, Donald Leavitt, of Chatham; and his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Russ and Dominica Federico, of Norwood.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks for the outpouring of love and support during this time.
