Throughout his career, Rocco accomplished a wide range of large-scale projects, including operating a horse farm, constructing commercial properties, remodeling residential homes, developing solar fields, and building self-storage facilities. He also proudly served as a police officer for the town of Upton, Massachusetts, for 13 years.

Rocco was an avid hunter and fisherman who also enjoyed riding Harleys, building hot rods, coin collecting, and woodworking. He was well-liked by many and was always ready to lend a helping hand.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Susan, and his sons: Brian, Marc, Chris, and Nick.
