To the whole DiTocco Family especially karen debbie and darlene i know i as late signing this but i am so sorry to hear of your father passing. I never really knew him i just remember him when we were in high school and all the parties we had at your house being hockey cheerleaders and your parents were such hosts. I know you should be so proud of who your parents were because they had brought wonderful children in this world and i glad i had the chance to be friends with you. I know the pain you feel to have lost both of my parents but you hold them in your hearts forever because you are examples of them my love to you all andrea and family

to the family... words cannot express my sorry in hearing of his passing. He was quite a man. Life is too short and I'm sure that John knew this and lived life until the end. I'm so happy to have had him for a neighbor and friend. Keith

I'm not sure if you will remember who I am but, We (myself and family) met John at the DiTocco Family Reunion in 1999. It was nice meeting and talking to everyone there and finding out that we had distant relatives whom we'd previously not known of. My dad (Michael DiTocco, Bronx, NY) was thrilled to learn of you all when contacted by the Massachusetts contingent and he optimistically looked forward to an eventual meeting. Unfortunately, he passed away shortly before that reunion, and not a day goes by that I don't think about him and what a great father and person he was. There are no magic words that make grief fade away (only time). But when feeling that way, try to focus not on the loss, but on the fact that you had long lasting, close relationship that few have the benefit of experiencing. Good Bless, and hope to see you all again someday.

To the entire DiTocco family and extended families, We were so sorry to hear of your loss. We had come to know and think very highly of Mr. DiTocco over the past several years and we will miss him very much. We regret that we were away at the time of his passing and that we could not attend the services to express our deepest sympathy to all of you. May God bless and keep you all.

Grace, and family: We cannot feel life's losses without first feeling the blessings of its fullness. You have all had a fullness of life and love with John and I feel special to have known him. You're in my thoughts, my heart and my prayers. The memories of Charlie and John at Holy Family Church will always be there, and I am sure they will be together in God's home. May happy memories carry you through this sorrowful time.

To Gracie and the entire DiTocco Family- Our hearts go out to you during this most difficult time. John was a great husband, father and friend. We were priviledged to have known John over the years and will certainly miss that perpetual smile and quick wit. The entire Town of Rockland has lost a true friend. Be strong and God Bless.

Dear Grace and Family It was with great sadness we read about John's passing. He was always at the top of our list for being one of the nicest persons that we have ever known. You made such a beautiful couple. Our prayers are with you during this time of sadness. We love you very much.

Marilyn and I would like you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you all. John is at peace now. These days ahead will be very tough on all of you and it might be hard to see anything to smile about,but I can honestly say I have a great big happy smile in my heart because I was lucky enough to be part of his life. John was one of those guys I would always go well out my way to look for at any gathering that I thought he might be at. He and I just hit it off and we enjoyed the heck out of each others company. He was a very down to earth happy guy that always wanted make sure he made you smile. I am going to miss him greatly. Even though he was weak and couldn't get out much I was more then honored to have him say yes, to my request to have him serve communion at my mothers own Funeral . I will never let that escape my memory. If we could all be like your Father,this would be a much better world. Keep the faith. All of our love, Tom,Marilyn,Ross.Derek,Ryan

Uncle Johnny, I will always remember our first time meeting at Anne and Bob's house when I had been taking a sewing class and I sewed the sleeve on a jersey upside down!
