My deepest condolences and prayers for the entire Rovito family. Andrew and I were college roommates and we have been friends since. Mr. Rovito (and the entire family) was always so warm and kind to me, making me feel like one of the family, a paesano... My heart goes out to all who knew and loved him. He will be missed.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you.
Deep peace of Christ the light of the world to you.
Deep peace of Christ to you.
