We invite family and friends to join us in celebrating the life of Frank B. LaRocca.

This gathering will be a Celebration of Life, and we encourage everyone who knew Frank to come, spend time together, and share stories and memories.

As many know, Frank’s life took a turn in 1992 when he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. In many ways, he lived two lives — the years before MS and the 34 years that followed. Through it all, he remained surrounded by family, humor, and the people who meant the most to him.

Back in the day, Frank was well known for giving people nicknames and for making a serious pasta carbonara — a dish that has been replicated many times over the years, but never quite duplicated.

Family and friends will have an opportunity to speak and share memories. A priest will offer a blessing, and while we will not be reciting the full rosary, we will take a moment together to pray a decade in Frank’s honor. There may even be one or two of Frank’s favorite culinary delights to enjoy as we gather.

We look forward to coming together to remember Frank, share a few laughs, and celebrate the life he lived.
