The obituary notice of Rocco DI CIOCCIO

Rocco,
I’m so thankful to have known you, for the last 16 years you’ve been the grandad I never had. The bond you created with Poppy is something us parents wish for and she was incredibly lucky to of had 8 beautiful years with you. She misses you so much and we all struggle without you here. But I know you watching over her smiling, looking at your memory book and cuddling her grandad bear. I hope you know how much we love you and appreciated all the fruit and veg over the years, I miss your cheeky laugh and the way you pronounced my name as I’ll never hear ‘Kathryn’ said the same way again. I miss you laughing at me struggling to put your shoes on when it’s time to leave after Sunday dinner.
I will forever treasure the last 16 years I had with you, such a short time but so many beautiful memories. All my love, Kathryn xx

Rocco was, warm, funny and ,interesting . We miss you ,even though we are miles apart you represent so much that is good in life. Your generation of brave, courageous and hopeful men. The fathers of children who came from a distant land. Carrying all their dreams and hopes in a case. Meeting with harsh times ,good times and challenging times. You succeeded, your loving family is proof. Now rest in Peace...and Love
Anna and Charles .

My grandad, a man whose warmth, generosity, and cheeky sense of humor touched everyone he met. His love for the allotment was well known, where he spent countless hours nurturing not just the plants, but the values of kindness, care, and giving. Grandad was always ready to share the fruits of his labour or offer a helping hand, embodying generosity in everything he did.

Though we’ll miss him terribly, I know that every time we see a garden in full bloom or share a laugh around the dinner table, a part of him will be with us. His spirit lives on in the generosity he showed, the lessons he taught, and the love he gave so freely.

I love you Grandad. Rest Peacefully.

My dearest Dad, you left us too soon. You were the most generous, most giving person and we are going to miss you so very much. The void you have left will never be filled. Reunited with Mum, God Bless you both xx
