My condolences and prayers to the DeRosa family. Mr DeRosa was such an important part of our community. Most of us grew up in Dom& Pia´s and after leaving the community it would be our first stop when coming home. Anxiously awaiting a slice of home. We will miss him terribly but have been so blessed to have been able to share him for all these years with you all. May God continue to bless and provide comfort to your family.
