If anyone needs an example of how to live a life, Rocco was the person to emulate. He knew how to love and show love. His love for Diane was always evident. He had an amazing love for his family. You will be remembered for your smile. Uncle Ed and I will always remember our trip to Disney and our day a Blizzard Beach. Our prayers and love will be with you and our family. RIP Rocco.
