A very special man whom I had the honor to know and work with. Loving, ethical, industrious and forthright. He made his mark in his work and his relationships with co-workers. I will remember him fondly.

It was with great sadness as I read of Rocco's passing. As an NACM member, Rocco and I attended many meetings over the past 10 or so years across the country. I will always remember him as a true gentleman, colleague and friend.

I am greatly sorry for your loss and he will be missed by many. I enjoyed the times I got to spend with Rocco. Many times we enjoyed watching and playing sports with Chris and Tim. Let's not forget about the Italian food and the joy he had in making it. Rocco was a good step father to me and helped me in my upbringing.

Maureen,
Our prayers are with you and the family at this devastating time. I will always remember Rocco as the kind and spiritual man he was. His spirit lives on in you and your children and in their children.
It was always a joy to see the two of you at Mass together. Every time we would come back to Huntington and to St. Joe's, My father and brother would speak so highly of Rocco and his family.
Much love and peace, Mary Rose

It was very sade to hear of Rocco passing away, but now he is finally at rest and peace, with God.
I first met Rocco many years ago when I took care of computer equipment at Service Wire. He was always so pleasant and such a joy to be around and talk with. Being a member of St. Joseph's Parish, I attended a church retreat a few years ago in which Rocco was the retreat director. I will never ever forget that retreat or the impression he made on me as a very beautiful and devout person in our faith. God bless you Rocco. Now that you are in heaven with God, pray for me to get there with you someday.
Sincerely,
Jim Weber

Maureen, Chris & Family,
It is with great sadness that I write to your family our sincerest sympathies for the passing of Rocco. Chris I will always remember visiting your father at his apartment during college or returning to Marshall for a football game. Mostly the kindness and generosity he showed when we visited. Chris I'm truly sorry that we're unable to be there in person to show our support. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
