Gregory Tocci Obituary
SEBRING, FL - Gregory Tocci of Sebring, FL, formerly Leominster, MA, passed away January 5th at Lakeland Regional Medical Center from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
Gregory was born in Leominster, MA, the son of the late Louis and Lucy Tocci. He leaves behind four brothers: Louis P. Tocci and wife Donna of Leominster, MA, James Tocci and partner Donna Hatfield of Fitchburg, MA, Gerardo Tocci and wife Kathleen of Clinton, MA, and Joseph Tocci and wife Debbie of Cooper City, FL. He also leaves behind two sisters: Diane Kelsey and husband William of Sebring, FL, and Pamela Morrison and husband Jay of Titusville, FL. He also leaves many nieces and nephews.
Gregory worked in the welding field for many years, something he truly enjoyed. He had great passion and knowledge of horticulture. Woodworking, listening to music, and taking his motorcycle out for his daily trips of coffee to the local restaurants were also some of his favorite pastimes.
Gregory loved his family and enjoyed his visits and phone calls with them very much. He resided in a number of places before settling in Sebring in 2001. Gregory was a very kind and gentle person, truly an amazing and wonderful brother and son. He was loved by all and will be greatly missed.
There are no calling hours. The family asks that an act of kindness be done as Greg was always kind to others.

My Dear Brother, Gregory,
It has been ten years since your passing and you are missed terribly. We shared so many great memories and you were always there for me. You were a great listener. You were not only my brother, but a dear friend and I cherish the friendship we had as siblings. You had a heart of gold and never had a mean word to say about anyone, You were a special person who was also quite intelligent in so many ways. You were also very protective of me when you picked me up never moving until I fastened my seat belt. I was always safe driving with you. You were always there for me no matter what. You are in my heart always dear brother of mine. I love and miss you so much. Love, Your sister, Diane.

I miss seeing your beautiful and refreshing smile. You were always so upbeat and positive. I treasure the times we shared together. You will always be with me in my heart, and my mind.

My Dear Brother, Gregory,
On this day fourteen years ago was one of the saddest days of my life. Not a day goes by that I do not think of you. You have been also in many of my dreams, but I only wish you were here beside me right now. I miss you. All the wonderful times we had going for a coffee and our talks about our pass and wondering what the future held for us. Little did we know that you would be taken way too soon. I miss those times and I miss your daily phone calls. I love you and I miss you.
Love and kisses from your sister, Diane.

Dear Gregory, Yesterday was your birthday and it was sad that we were not able to celebrate it with you. I have been working on my book once again and hopefully will finish it this year. Life has not been the same since January 4, 2014, and it saddens me.
You are missed terribly. I love you dear brother. Thank you for always being there for me. Your sister, Diane

I miss your daily phone calls, I miss going out with you, especially going for coffee and having this time talking about whatever was on our mind. I think of you constantly and wish so much that you were here with all of us. My grandchildren and everyone miss you lots. I want those good old times back. "Let's go for a Coffee." I love you.

Happy 60th Birthday today Gregory. I want you to know that I miss you very much and I wish you were here by my side right now celebrating your birthday cake and a wonderful meal with you and the family like good old times. I miss your phone calls, your visits, meeting for coffee and just hanging out together. Your kindness, friendship, thoughtfulness and inspiration have always been so helpful to me. You were always there for me and were such a good listener. Your love for your family and the simple things in life were all you needed, plus sharing in conversation. I truly miss all that with you. I Love you dear brother and you will always be in my heart.

Dear brother, Gregory.
Yesterday was Mother's Day and I remember how wonderful you always were to our mother. You were so kind, sweet, helpful and loving to Mom. I remember the last few weeks of her life and how you took such good care of her and lifted her up and carried her when she didn't have the strength anymore. You were such a wonderful son and brother and I miss you every single day more and more. You had love in your heart and family was the most important thing to you. You will always be in my heart until we meet again. I Love You.

Greg, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I miss getting together for coffee and just talking about our lives. I miss your smile and kindness you gave to me and my family over the years. You were the best brother a sister could ever want or ask for in life. Until we meet again I want you to know how much you are missed and loved.

I saw you in my dream last night.
I asked you, "Please do stay"
You gently wrapped your wings about me,
As you softly spoke these words.
"For I have not left you, I surround you every day.
The ground is my back you walk upon,
To steady you on your way.
The sky my wings that hold you close,
Each morning and at night.
Remember these things as you think of me,
And know that I'm alright"

It has been seven months since you left us to take you place at our Creators side. Not a day, not a moment goes by that I'm not thinking of you, missing you. I truly thought we would grow old together. I expected we'd still be talking on the phone every day, sharing stories of our daily adventurers. I had planed on many more visits with you, drinking our coffee as we decided where to go for lunch. I took all of this for granted. We visit now only in my dreams. I journey on without you Greg, but only in the physical sense, for the memories and love of you are forever with me.
June 24, 2014
Gregory, I miss you so much. I keep a pillow in my car with your picture on it and last night I took my grandson's out for a ride and we talked to you as we do often. We all miss you very much and your loss is a hardship on all of us. You were so kind always with an open mind and heart. You were always there for us, Greg. I Love You, Greg. Love, Sis Diane

Eulogy for my brother...
When someone dies we often
hear these words
"He's in a better place"..
"It gets easier over time"
Words I couldn't understand
when I lost my brother and best
friend Gregory. He was in a good
place right here I had thought.
With people who love
and care for him.
Gregory enjoyed the phone calls
to his family, and visiting them
when he could. Sitting with a cup
of coffee, reminiscing and laughing
about childhood days.
He loved meeting and conversing with
new people when he was out and about.
Gregory enjoyed life, and knew how
to make the best of it.
He did quite a lot in his short 54 years,
and with a positive outlook on life,
with an open mind, with an open heart,
and with love - much love.
It took me some time before I realized
that Gregory is in a better place.
A place where there is no hunger,
no pain and no loneliness...
only love.
Jan. 31, 1959 to Jan. 5, 2014
Gregory filled a gap in our lives,
and now he has journeyed on before us.
We are left saddened by our loss,
yet we must rejoice of the many
wonderful memories Gregory has filled
our minds and our hearts with.
And we will hold on to those memories
until we see him again.
Then we shall sit with him
and we will reminisce
and we will laugh.
I miss you Gregory,
until I see you again brother...
Ciao

Greg, You are missed so much and life without you here with me is hard. I have your picture hanging in my front room in the frame that you made and seeing your lovely smile each day gives me strength. You were an Angel sent from Heaven; perfect in everyway. I miss you so much and I love You so much. Love, Sis Diane

Gregory, there are no words to express the amount of loss we are feeling. We have lost a wonderful brother and uncle who was so dear to us. We hope we can live our lives in the manner in which you did, as thoughtful and loving as you were. We miss and love you very much.
Love Always,

Brother of mine please stand aside and Hold a place for me
At my mothers breast my fathers knee
That's where I want to be
But not too soon I ask you this
For my work here is not done
Rejoice as you wait till we meet
At the gate
For your journey has just begun

Greg, I will always remember our long talks -- philosophical, nostalgic, musical, goofy, and more. You are sorely missed... but you are present with us every day --- whenever we hear the phone ring, or talk like Bahstonians, or eat scahllops, we feel your presence. Thank you for your acceptance, your friendship and love. So long, Brother. Save a place for us with the rest of our loved ones. Be at peace.

To each of his brothers and sisters, his many nieces and nephews, and dear friends,
It was a shock to hear such news of Greg's passing and no words can express the heartfelt sympathy I feel for all of you. I did have a good thought that at least his mother and father were able to greet him. That was something Greg would have wanted. I know God took him too early but with his parents, he would have wanted... my love and thoughts to each of you..it is never easy......cousin. Peg Iacoboni

I remember sharing carefree and happy days and moments with you. When I was with you I knew I was loved. There is a void on this earth and a treasure in heaven. One thing I remember most is us joking around saying "I care" to each other - well you did care and in your name so will I. May God bless and keep you. Love and miss you always, Dee-Dee (Cormier) Brothers of Brookfield, MA
