I always enjoyed seeing and talking to Rocco over the decades. And I remember well the beautiful job he did laying the flooring in my mother’s house in Twinsburg as well as the time he and Marge stayed at our house in Dayton when they visited the Air Force Museum.
Germana and I are very sorry we were unable to attend the funeral services as we are now living in the Chicago area and can no longer travel long distances. But Rocco shall always be remembered.

Rocky was a good friend over the years.  He always made sure his family was well off.  He helped all the cousins and second cousins when we were out of work by giving us temporary employment until we could get on our feet.  We will always remember him fondly. 

                                                              

A sad moment for all that knew Rocco. I know he will be missed.


My dear uncle Rocco you were a renaissance man who knows how
to do everything. You married my favorite aunt Marge. I just loved being around you both .  You help take care of my grandmother ,Rose. Rest in peace uncle Rocco❤️❤️

When Terry and I were first married and had no furniture, Rocco arrived with boards and bricks and built bookshelves in our small apartment on Lorain Road. It was the first of many times he made our lives better.  He loved his children and adored Marge and the joy she brought to his life.  Rocco made the best red sauce I’ve ever eaten.  A man of his time who lived his life on his own terms. We loved you, Rocco.
