Rocco Martiniello

We join hands and hearts in honoring the incredible life of Rocco Martiniello, who left an indelible mark on the lives of those fortunate to know him. A dedicated family man, Rocco was a beacon of love, strength, and inspiration for his family, instilling in them values of unity, perseverance, and compassion. He was a man of humble beginnings who did not just dream of a better life for his family, he worked tirelessly to make it a reality, enriching their lives with his wisdom and love.

Rocco was a man of the earth, finding joy and tranquility in the simplicity of gardening. He possessed a green thumb and a heart full of love for the blooms he nurtured just as he did his family. His annual visits back to his beloved Italy were a source of immense pleasure and nostalgia to him. Through his work as a laborer for Local 22, Rocco demonstrated his commitment to hard work and diligence, qualities he hoped to pass down to the generations to come.

Rocco’s legacy is carried forward by his devoted wife, Angiolina Martiniello; his loving children, Luisa Kopp (Michael Kopp), Alfonso Martiniello (Joyce Martiniello), and Luigi Martiniello (Sherry Martiniello); his caring sisters, Emanuela Memmolo, Caterina Martiniello, and Antonina Minichiello; and his cherished grandchildren, Alfonso, Jessica, Anastasia, Alessandra, Dante, and Gina. Rocco is preceded in death by his siblings Pasquale Martiniello, Teresa Russo, and Angelina Donofrio.

Rocco's life was a testament to the power of love, hard work, and dedication. His memory will forever be etched in the hearts of those he touched. We invite you to share your memories of Rocco and upload photos to the memorial page as we celebrate and remember a life beautifully lived.
