Tom (Mr. Ruocco) will surely be missed at BSS. When he visited there not too long ago, I was hopeful that he would beat this and be able to return to us. I am sorry that it was just too much for his body to take. He truly was a kind and gentle soul. My condolences and prayers to Tom's family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Tom's family and the Ruoccos, especially my Aunt Vicki. When growing up in Connecticut, I always remembered Tom as cool and singular guy. He was someone I admired.

I loved Mr. Ruocco!! He made my days at Brandywine Springs wonderful. Listening to him play his guitar was awesome. Mr. Ruocco always knew how to put smiles on our faces and always knew how to make you laugh. I want to express my deepest sympathy to his family and friends. Thanks for everything Mr. Ruocco!!
