Dear Lou and family, I am so so sorry to hear of Rocco's passing. What a wonderful man. I was so touched by the love that he and Lou had for each other. So many times seeing them together at Cafe Diva or at St. Denis or Roche Bros.. What a devoted couple! I will miss that sight so much.
Rocco was so thoughtful. Always remembering my family and asking how they were.
I am so glad to have known him. God Bless him and Lou now. I will always remember him in prayer. I am sorry that I found out too late to attend the services as he so deserved the respect. Love to all of you and especially to Lou.
God Bless You.
Our deepest sympathy.

Mr. Fosco,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
