Albert LaRocca

Albert LaRocca  February 28, 1934 – April 12, 2025

It is with great sadness we announce Albert LaRocca aged 91, passed away suddenly, surrounded by his loving family. A devoted husband to his beloved late wife Rae of 67 years, he now joins her in eternal rest.

He was a cherished father to Albert (Patricia), Guy (Margaret), and Yvonne (Michael) a proud Papa to 10 grandchildren and spouses, eighteen great-grand children and a great-great-Papa to one—roles he filled with endless love, gentle wisdom, and quiet strength.

Known for his deep patience, kind spirit, and nurturing love of gardening, Albert brought beauty not only to the earth he tended, but to the lives of all who knew him. Whether sharing a story, lending a hand, or offering a warm smile, he left a lasting impression of grace, gentleness and humility.

His legacy lives on in the family he built, the values he instilled, and the family that continues to grow.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his family, friends and neighbours.
