Romeo J. Rotondi

Uncle Romeo was my Godfather and and I always thought of him as a very special person. Handsome, rugged, brave and sensitive and vulnerable. I pray that he will finally rest in peace after some very difficult years. Love, Sam

Uncle Romeo had many roles in his life. He was a devoted son, beloved brother, uncle, godfather, and cousin. He was a husband, father, soldier and friend. In essence, he was just like the rest of us…trying his best to make his way through life.

As a young boy, he would help his father in the garden and in the care of the animals. He loved to tramp through the woods of Stoneham and go trapping for skunks. This resulted in a type of nickname which his family was famous for...

Uncle Romeo,

You were a wonderful neighbor and uncle. My childhood is full of memories of you…handing out cookies; driving me and my sisters to school; calling us all by our own special nicknames; pretending you couldn’t pronounce Lokelani; teasing me about my height (I surprised everyone, didn’t I?); teasing Kristin about everything; telling stories about your family – our family…the list goes on and on.

I miss you already.

Love, Holly (Marshmallow)

Uncle Romeo, What can we say? You were always there for us - whether for a ride, to pick up the girls at school or to fix our cars, we could always count on you. We will miss you!

Dear Aunt Tamia,
My deepest sympathy and condolences on the loss of your beloved brother Romeo. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time.
Love,
Christine Fulchino

Uncle Romeo, you will be forever missed. You were a driving instructor, a referee (you saved Patrick and me from permanent damage during our many fights in your backseat), a hockey aficionado passing on your knowledge, a great neighbor, a loving father, a wonderful uncle and so much more. Thank you for your life.

You were a great Uncle and a great neighbor! I remember all the times you drove us around and fixed our cars. You would always good-naturedly watch (sometimes rolling your eyes) when Cindy would teach us the latest dance moves. You never complained when we would run over to your house and into your garden to trample your plants you had painstakingly planted. Uncle Romeo you will be missed!

Dear Aunt Tamia,

I am so sorry about the passing of Uncle Romeo. He was a great brother to you and uncle to me, my brothers and cousins. We will miss him very much.

Love,
Stephen
