Rocco DiPaola

I couldn't believe when I read the news about you. I was so upset that God took you in so fast knowing that we were working on some plans with your benefits...hahahah. Then I realized how selfish I was to think this. He just wanted to take you under His wing since you were a true Angel. We didn't get to know each other much, but the times that you would come see me were great. You were so generous all the time in bringing me "pasteles de nata" with a "cafe"...hahahaha. As if I needed...

I am saddened by the news of Rocco's passing. He and Cathy were my father's (and family's) good friends and neighbors for many years. Dad and we were so impressed with Rocco's abundant gardens. Rocco and Cathy always greeted us with welcoming smiles and welcoming hearts, and Dad truly appreciated their friendship. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to Cathy, Frank, Maria, Caterina, Rocco, and the rest of Rocco's family. Rocco will be remembered as the wonderful person he was.

Nonno Rocco, your a loving father,brother,grandfather,and husband.I love you with all my heart and remember all the memories we had. I will always remember the good times like the trip to wild wood in 2006.Also, the time you taught me how to play bocci in 2005. May good watch over you. From your grandson Rocky.
