Richard M. ROCCA

Sending heartfelt condolences to Coach Rocca's family, friends, and many former students and athletes whose lives he touched and influenced. I always remember the smile on his face back at my time at PHS in the 90s. Rest in peace.

Dickie you helped me so much when I was in Jones 2, most people won't admit that, that is how special you are. You took 5 of us on a road trip and talked about a beefaloo. I'd never heard that before and laughed for the first time in I don't know how long! You told me as my therapist that I don't look like a Pat and you named me Trish. I have been going by that ever since. You meant a lot to me!

Dave, Linda and Pam, I'm so sorry that you have to bear the loss of another brother. I didn't know Dickie well because of our age difference, but I liked him and remember being impressed with his motorcycle when I was a child. It seems like just yesterday we were all kids. My deepest sympathies on your loss.

I remember mr Rocca from Herberg 30 years ago. I ran into him several years back at a restaurant and recognized him right away and was very happy to say hello , he was happy I remembered him from so many years ago. Sad to hear of his passing. He was a great guy

Such a great guy. RIP Dick....

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. I will always remember the years you lived next door to my parents. They loved having you there. You were both very good to them. My father was very fond of Dickie. To the Rocca family - we are saddened by your loss. Dickie was a great brother and a great friend. Mickey Esposito and Cathy White

To all of the Rocca family: I was so saddened to hear of Dicky´s passing. So full of life. One of my favorite cousins. Will always remember our bingo days at the Cuva picnics. My heart goes out to you all. May the wonderful memories you have, help you through this very difficult time. With Love, Gina Isenhart
