Rocco DISIPIO Obituary

Published by Ottawa Citizen from Nov. 14 to Nov. 17, 2012.

DISIPIO, Rocco (Rocky)
Proud Veteran of World War II
August 18, 1919 - November 9, 2012
Peacefully in the comfort of his family, Rocco left us to join his beloved wife, Marina (nee Fusi). Rocco was the proud father of Marco, John, Marina (Dan Mahoney), Rocco Jr.(Anna Jasiak), Peter (Francine Page) and Stephen (Nadia Storti). Dearly loved Nonno of Mark (Kelly Murray), Jennifer (Adrian Doyle), Curtis, Christina, Ryan, Andrew, Danielle, Jessica, Troy, Davide, Tye and Matteo. Rocco will also be remembered by his loving nieces, nephews and lifelong friends.
He was a quiet man, a man of great knowledge, who possessed a keen sense of humour; a music lover with an endless love of family. Nonno will be remembered by his grandchildren for his bountiful vegetable gardens and his great story telling. A private family service to honour Rocco's life has taken place. If desired, in memory of Rocco, donations may be made to a charity of ones' choice.

Dear Disipio family

My late father (Gordie Williams) was a very good friend of your dad and we, my late sister Arlene and I, used to come and visit at your house. I remember those times with a great deal of affection because your house was filled with warmth, love and friendship. I am very sorry for your loss and hope that all your wonderful memories will get you through this sad time.

Ricky and family,

I was saddened to read about the passing of your Dad in the paper this morning. I remember he coached us one year at Fisher Park little league, he was a quiet man but when he spoke you listened. The year end party was in your back yard on Railway St., we all signed a baseball and gave it to him. I used to see your Mom and Dad all the time when I delivered the Ottawa Journal in the area, very nice people.

As you know our Mother's grew up together on Preston St. and my Mom also sends her condolences.

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

To all of Rocky's family:
While Rocky's passing is sad, it
was not unexpected.
Now as he re-unites with his wife Rina,
his immediate family can be secure in the knowledge that Rocky was well taken
care of by his children.
God bless Uncle Rocky and his loved ones.
Linda & Don Romani
