I am a widowed legal secretary with 4 children...Michelle Ann, Billy Jr., Jessica Anne and Anthony Michael...and a first grandson named Nickolas Anthony who arrived into our family in July of 2002, with a second grandson named William Ryan who joined us in February, 2009. I first found this website in order for my daughter Jessica to memorialize her Daddy and my late husband, Bill "Big Rock" Rocchio, who was born and raised in Stamford, CT, as I was. Bill passed away in 1989 at the very young age of 36 due to liver failure. I STILL miss him dearly. He was my junior high crush and I adored him from the moment we met. After many years of us bein' apart we finally got back together in 1979, but havin' only ten short years with him was definitely not enuff. Our youngest was barely five years old when he just couldn't hold on to life any longer. But thankfully, he lived a helluva lot longer than any of his doctors ever expected him to. He lived his life to the fullest and he left many great memories for us to share. Stamford just hasn't been the same without him, and neither have WE.
