I was so sad to hear of Rocco's passing. We were neighbors a few years ago and often shared a cup of coffee, books, and our thoughts. I enjoyed his company very much, he was a kind and gentle person. He is missed.

Rocco possessed an extraordinary and virtuous strength in character. Rocco had the capacity to be humble and steadfast, tranquil yet sturdy. The calm demeanor and a gentle spirit that emanated from Rocco's very being commanded peace and admiration. Rocco's life, Rocco's time, manifested the true measure of a man.

To All Of Rocco's Loved Ones
Frank and I would like to offer our deepest sympathies. We spent time with Rexie (as we called him) at the farm. Can still see him standing in the kitchen taking it all in. His smile will always be remember by all that knew him.

There are no words to describe the terrible tragedy that has happened. I have known Rexie since he was 7 years old. He really enjoyed visiting Tony and I at the farm. I am so thankful I got to see and spend time with him at Jack's birthday party. We got to talk over old times. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Aunt Dottie

Rocco's passing saddened and shocked me and my family. He will long be remembered. He had a good heart, a kind and funny nature. His quirky ways made him endearing to all. He had all the qualities you want in a lifelong friend. He will be missed but never forgotten, one of the most unselfish,gifted people I've ever known. Condolences to family and all who share our sadness.

For the past 7 years I have worked in the same office with Rocco. It will now never be the same. He was a quiet man, but when I spoke with him he was always laughing & smiling. He is sadly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his closest family & friends during this difficult time.

I knew Rocco for 30+ yrs and saw him on and off through those years. We worked together at Phoebe back in the 70's. I will never forget how kind he was, and his wonderful laugh. He made me laugh and smile with his funny stories. I am so sad and numb about his death. There will never be another Rocco. I loved him with all my heart. Rocco will always be in my heart and soul.

Marinaro family,
Rocco was the best friend and neighbor anyone could ask for. I will miss him so much but I will not forget him. One day we will be neighbors again. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
