Nonno will sadly be missed by his grandchildren Massimo, Michela, Alessia, Kassandra, Nicolas, Callie, and great-grandson Aiden. Predeceased by his grandson Gianluca LaRocca. He will forever be held dear in the hearts of nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives in Italy, and many friends. Our family would like to thank the extended family on Teakwood Place for all their love and support for the last few difficult months. Luciano immigrated from Monteleone, Pesco Sannita, Benevento Italy to give his family a better life and future. He welcomed everyone with open arms and a glass of his homemade vino. He loved his vegetable garden and fruit trees. He was always sharing his knowledge of gardening with everyone whether you understood him or not. His greatest joy was his family.
