Tranca, Patrizia, and Luc: I was deeply saddened to read of Mike's passing this week. I will miss the great conversations we had. and his wide ranging knowledge of so many things. It was always both a pleasure and a privilege to have something to deliver to him, as I knew we were in for a great visit and talk. He never let me get away without a bottle of wine, which I knew had been made with great care and pride. Always cheerful, and always with that great smile. He will truly be missed. My condolences to you, and you will be in my thoughts during this time on the loss of a good man.

Its with deep regret that Cheryl, Andrea, Patrick and I are unable to attend. Our condolences to all. It was memorable to have spent many happy years socializing with Michele. Never met a man that always carried a smile, even in the hospital last week when I visited him. He will be missed dearly, will see you all in a couple of weeks, hugs to your mom.

I remember bumping into your dad at the Lancaster Mall when I first moved back to Saint John, after being away for many years. He gave me the biggest, warmest hug and was so happy to see me. We both couldn’t stop smiling. And then...I introduced him to my husband, with the Italian last name, and, oh my!! It was like he had met a long lost friend!! We must have stood in the middle of the Mall for 30 minutes discussing Italian food and catching up on each other’s lives. That is how I remember you Dad. With the biggest smile, twinkling eyes full of mischief, and a warm embrace that made me feel so very special. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Dear Rocca Family, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Mike was such a kind soul. We were fortunate to have him as a neighbour in our early childhood. In recent years, any time I'd run into Mike, he'd have a big hug for me and an even bigger smile. He always asked about my folks and gave me an update on Luke, Patrizia and the grandchildren. My sincere condolences to the family. Lori Lambert
