I just learned today of the passing of Dr Rosanelli. He became my doctor 3 days after his father who delivered my daughter passed. He was my doctor for 40 years and also delivered my son. He was very kind and compassionate always. He was so knowledgeable always. I know he is on that big lake above us with his beautiful boat.

He was my my doctor from the time his practice was on the corner of Franklin St near VCU until I moved away nearly 20 years later. He was a good man, a fine doctor and he will be missed. Special condolences to Red and Fr. Joe.

I will miss waving to Dr. Rosanelli on my walks to the bridge. I will miss seeing him proudly at the helm of his boat.
Condolences to the Rosanelli family from the entire Rizzo family.

I offer our deepest sympathy during this time of such a great loss. Dr. Rosanelli delivered my only child thirty two years ago on November 24,1982 and we speak of him often. More than a doctor a true friend to all. You all will remain in our prayers.
