I worked with Rocky and enjoyed our time together. He was old school & chivalrous. I pray his soul is at peace. He will be missed.
Our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your dear brother Rocco. My mother Cecchina and my aunt Lisa were very close to your mother Annina.
May perpetual light shine upon their soul.
Annette LaCivita nee Barbalinardo and family
Rocky was a valued employee of Lerners in Toronto for many years, and a good friend to us all.
The help he gave to me and others over those years, always with a smile, cannot be measured. May he rest in peace

Rocky was a treasure of a man. Unique and quirky and kind to a fault. He was so quick to help out and so very interested in the lives of others. His death is a tragedy and a loss to all who knew him.
For many years, Rocky’s face was the first one I saw when I arrived at the office. His kind smile, thoughtful questions and genuine interest in the answers brightened each of my days. His loss is deeply felt by all of us in the Lerners family who had the pleasure to know him.
Rocky, I truly hope you have found peace. You are and will always be missed.
Rocky was the first friend I made at Lerners when I joined the firm at the height of the pandemic. He was kind, warm and genuinely caring. I will remember our daily morning chats fondly. He will be greatly missed!
I worked at Lerners Toronto with Rocky for 10 years. I was saddened to hear of his passing. Rocky and I shared many stories and many more laughs which helped me tremendously on some occasions to get through tough days! I’ll treasure those days forever.
Requiescat In Pace my friend.
Rocky was thoughtful, helpful, kind, a well spoken gentleman who warmed the air around him. We will remember him always, with a smile. Kirk and Joanne
My deepest condolences to Rocky’s family. My heart is heavy at the news of Rocky’s passing. He was such a kind and generous spirit. I remember his daily jokes and uplifting stories. He’d never utter an unkind word about anyone. He was truly a gift to us all. May he rest in eternal peace. 🕊️🙏🏼❤️
I remember always having chats with Rocky when I worked at Lerners. He was full of stories. He was always so much fun whenever we had the firm holiday party. I am shocked and saddened to hear of his untimely death. May he rest in peace🙏🏿
Broken hearted to hear of the passing of my dear friend Rocky. We spent 19 years as co-workers and an immeasurable amount of time outside of work at sports bars and stadiums. If it was a sporting event, we were there. He always has my best interests at heart in every scenario. Truly a gentleman. Deeply missed.
Just learned of Rocco’s passing and remember his kind and soft spoken words. He was a pleasure to know and will be missed.
I knew Rocky as I am the concierge of the 130 Adelaide building where Lerners had offices. For over 20 years Rocky and I shared many conversations and often a laugh once in a while. He was always professional and came to me with concerns about various aspects of their offices. He knew all of our staff and was always pleasant to be around. Rocky would often visit me when their offices moved to see how things were going and to catch up on things. Rocky will be missed and may he rest in peace.
Rocky was like a brother to me who offered 🫴 advice on life. A guy who would offer the shirt 👕 off his back to help me or lend me money in times of despair. Unfortunately he worked 💪 himself so hard into a burnout situation & suffered mentally because of it. I hope he can now be at rest. I will miss him. He was probably my one loyal & true friend on this earth 🌎 RIP
I just found out that Rocco passed away, I am truly sorry to hear of his passing.
We shared love and were planning our future together when we realized we didn’t have the same idea of what that future would be.
I have always loved him and wish we could of worked it out but sometimes love is not enough.
If you see a red rose on his grave, you will know where it is from.
