I knew him so long that when I first met him he was Ricky. A very funny guy. Very sad was his passing. Way too early.

I knew Ricky since kindergarten. He was my first "boyfriend" in elementary school.
Last time I saw him was at the 2000 PHS reunion but I never got a chance to talk to him. I wish I did.

Rocco there are so many memories, so many thoughts, where do I start! I’m just proud to say we shared some of the best times and fondest memories two kids could ever have growing up with one another. Often times I find there is always something that has a way of bringing back those great memories of you that seem as fresh in my mind as though it happened only yesterday, always with a smile brought upon my face.
I read somewhere that a person is truly gone when forgotten. Well Rocco you do live on and in many of us. The love from your family and friends, you touched so many lives to never be forgotten! So until we meet again my friend, you are forever in my thoughts and prayers.

Always knew him as "Ricky"! When I first saw his his name, "In Memory",
my mind raced..... and I thought OMG, HIS HEART! We were friends all through elementarty school, and he had to miss phs. ed. a lot. Well I am
comforted to know that he had a beautiful wife and daughters and had a loving family. My heartfelt sympathy to all the Medaglia's! He was a kind,
sweet and very funny guy, use to do "Ricky Ricardo" impressions for me!
He will forever be in our hearts!

Rocco used to stand up for me 7th grade when I was being bullied. He was my hero then and he is my hero now. He had a great big heart and I feel honored to have known him.
