Francesco LaRocca ( Frank ) was born in beautiful Ferrandina, Italy on August,16,1922.
He married his bride, Melina in 1948. After having their two children, Louise & Pat, he moved to Canada in 1958. Frank worked construction as a bricklayer his whole life. He was a hard worker who was dedicated to his trade and providing a good life for his family. Frank was an avid cottager and loved getting away on weekends. He was a master builder of pizza ovens and loved to share his talent with friends, of which he had many. Frank had a quiet demeanour & gentle soul and will sadly be missed especially by his children Louise and Pat and their spouses Peter and Chris, his grandchildren, Lisa, Jason, Luke, Talya and his great grandson, Jackson.
