Carol, Joey & GiGi,
I still picture your Dad the way he was when we were kids.  We are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you.

Pop was not the easiest person to get close to, but, when you got in, you were in for life. I will never ever forget any of the lessons he taught me, or advice he gave me that was just sort of sandwiched into a regular conversation. Grazie di tutto, Pop.

Mr. President as I called him loved his daughters and wanted only the best for them.
He always bragged to me about his Grandsons also and how intelligent they were. 
He told me funny stories and made me laugh and I hope I made him laugh now and then. We talked about Politics, fighting in WarWar II and when he worked in the mines. He boxed when he was younger, and when he  boxed if he won a fight he would get $5  and he would give it to his Grandpa  and he would give Joe a dime to go to the Picture show. He always said " there's no time to shine the rifle with a war going on" 
I will miss him especially because he always made me laugh and feel good about about life.
The Governor

I always thought very highly of Mr. LaRocca, and he treated me with the same esteem.  Such a wonderful man!   Carol, Joey, and GiGi my sincere condolences.

Mr. LaRocca was a kind and gentle soul.  Condolences to his family.
