With sorrow and sadness, the family announces the peaceful passing of Rocco (Rocky) Morra on September 11, 2021 in Escondido, California surrounded by his loved ones. Rocky is ever so lovingly remembered by his devoted wife Josie Read Obituary
Dear Josie & Morra family, This is a belated condolence because I just found out today from my son Jason. He is on vacation with his family in SAN Diego. I suggested he make a point of getting in touch with Rocky & You while there. I reminded him of the amazing hospitality you Rocky Lina & Danny gave to me Gail & even friends we were travelling with.
Rocky & I go back to Monteleone where we enjoyed our loving childhood. Zia Maria & Mom Raffaela we’re so very closest of Sisters. On their arrival in Toronto their first stay was with our family.
Rocky & I frequented all the teen dances . Our families were forever inseparable.
My sincere and deep sadness for your loss. We will miss Rocky. May he be reunited with his family in heaven for eternity. Our Love & prayers to You & all your extended family.

Dear Comara Josie and family,
We were very sorry to hear of the passing of Comparo Rocco. May he Rest In Peace. We have many memories of our time together in Toronto.
Our sincerest condolences.

Dear Josie, Mary-Helen, Vance, Janey,
My sincere, deepest condolences for your loss, my Godfather Rocco. Back in 1963, when my mother Angela Morsillo arrived in Canada, she had very little family here already. My birth that same year and soon after for my baptism, naturally asked Rocco and Lina to be my Godparents. This meant so much to my mother, to have her cousins baptize her first-born. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and your extended families. My loving memories of you all are from a very much younger time in Toronto, a reminder to cherish every day we have with each other.
Love Michelle

Josie & Family,
Rocky was a lovely person who will be deeply missed. We know words cannot take away the hurt you and your family are feeling but we want you and your family to know how much we care. Sending our love and prayers during this time.
Our deepest sympathy,
Rocco, Lillian & Family
I’m writing from Toronto where Rocky’s notice was published today in the Toronto Star. If he is the Rocco I recall from Grade 6 where a boy newly-emigrated from Italy was put into our class to help him learn English. Would this be him? I remember him being a fun character.
In any event, whether the same fellow or not, God Bless the family and RIP.

My heart is broken as I grieve the loss of my dear Uncle Rocky and I will always hold him close to my heart. My Uncle since childhood has always been so kind, warm, caring, loving, and such a gentle soul. All he ever wanted was for everyone around him to be happy, healthy, safe and successful. I admired his courage and strength to always live life well and to the fullest!!! My Beautiful and Sweet Aunt Josie, My amazing Cousins Mary Helen, Vance, Janey, and Family, my heart goes out to each one of you and sending you all my love, thoughts, prayers and condolences. I know you made my Uncle Rocky so so proud. May he Rest In Peace ❤️
