Angelo I. Ruocco, 77, of Nashua, passed away on July 13, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on May 8, 1948, in Corning, New York, Angelo was the son of the late Phillip Ruocco and Josephine (Seeley) Ruocco. He graduated from Corning-Painted Post High School and went on to earn a bachelor's degree in Business from Cornell University.

Angelo proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. Following his military service, he built a successful career in sales, holding various positions throughout his career.

Outside of work, he was an avid sports fan, cheering for the Boston Red Sox and Pittsburgh Steelers. Angelo loved fishing, camping trips throughout New England and New York, and barbecuing with family and friends. Above all, he cherished time spent with his loved ones.

Angelo was also a proud and active member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), where he served as a past commander, dedicating himself to supporting fellow veterans and preserving their legacy of service.

He is survived by his children, Ruth Ann Bolton and Angelo Ruocco, both of Nashua; his beloved grandchildren, Clairice Ruocco, Savannah Bolton, and Francesca Bolton; and his siblings, Paul Ruocco and his wife Julie of Newfield, NY, Patrick Ruocco and his wife Cheryl of The Villages, FL, Peter Ruocco of Corning, NY, and Christopher Ruocco and his wife Trish of Painted Post, NY. Angelo also leaves behind his sister-in-law, Sandy Ruocco of Newfield, NY, as well as several nieces and nephews who will remember him fondly.

He was predeceased by his loving wife, Jacqueline (Adams) Ruocco; and his brothers, Phillip Ruocco and Thomas Ruocco.
