Even after his retirement, he still worked with his sons in a similar capacity, under the name Family Construction. Rocco greatly enjoyed his trips to the casino. He was an extremely social person, well known by all and his frequent trips allowed him to become a favorite guest among the staff that worked there. His greatest enjoyment however was found in the time he spent surrounded by his family. A Loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend of many. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
