Ronald Rosario ROCCO

And a couple more years have passed. I still think of you when I see a pack of bicyclists sharing the road. You are missed!

I can’t believe 5 years have gone by since Ron passed. I think of him often and when I see cyclists along the road I always think of him. We are planning our 60th high school reunion for Sept. 2021, and Ron will be among those remembered that evening. I think it’s so wonderful that he became a teacher. I was fortunate to remarry two years ago snd I married a retired English teacher who is also beloved by his students. Teachers can have such an impact on their students lives, both positive...

Ronnie was one of my favorite friends growing up in Westbury. May He rest in the love of God! My sincerest condolences to his family.

I went all through school with Ronnie in Westbury and graduated with him in 1961. He was the nicest, most polite boy , with the most gorgeous blue eyes! He ran Cross Country, was on the Track Team and played basketball. It sounds like he had a successful career teaching. His students and his family are his legacy! When I was planning our 50th high school reunion, I learned that he was too sick to attend. I was sorry to learn of his passing but now all the young children who have gone...

I have fond memories of Mr. Rocco. He was my kindergarten teacher in the early 70's. I remember the open classroom setting, field trips, and playing with the toys. As a kindergarten teacher, I have greater appreciation for all that he did to help me to thrive in school and I hope I can be as great of teacher as he was for me! Please be assured of my prayers during this difficult time.

My son had Ron for Kindergarten and 1st grade. He made a great start to my son,s life in school. He asked me one time; to call him if Chip woke up in the morning and was going to have a bad day. He had a great way with the kids, and they loved to go to school because of this wonder teacher and educator. God bless this wonderful man. He will be missed by many.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

I went to BE where he teached, while I didnt have the honor of having him as my teacher, we all loved him. He was the best:) He will be missed.
