Rocco Morra Obituary

ROCCO MORRA God called Rocco suddenly on June 6, 2011 from his residence at the age of 64. He will be sadly missed by his loving wife Georgina. He will be cherished by his dear daughter Christine (Sebastian). Proud Poppy to Gabriel and Xavier. Rocco will always be remembered by his sisters Felicetta (Luigi) and Antonietta (Vincenzo) and brothers-in-law Dominick (Dee), Frank (Eileen) and Anthony. He will be held dear in the hearts of his nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives and many friends and neighbours. He was predeceased by his loving parents Carmelo and Vicenza Morra, his parents-in-law Dominick Sr. and Jean Lore and his sister-in-law Theresa Lore.

Rocco graduated from Ryerson as a civil engineer and later from Mohawk College with the highest marks in Carpentry. Rocco worked loyally for Ellis Don, his legacy is evident through buildings and infrastructure all over Toronto. Family will receive friends at the Vescio Funeral Homes Ltd.
