I’m very saddened to hear the news about Rob. He was a pleasure to work with here at RBC Insurance. On a professional note he was thorough and consistently accurate. He always gave 110% to the team and was highly respected for his knowledge and tenacity.
On a personal level I always found Rob a treat to talk with. His unwavering positivity and sweet smile lit up the room.
To his family, I know your hearts are breaking but I hope you find comfort in knowing your husband/dad spoke of you often to me. You were first and foremost in his heart always.
Our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Robert Rocco may he rest in peace 💙🙏🏻

I was very saddened to hear the news this morning and I send the family my deepest condolences. Rob and I worked along side for well over a year when he first found out about Myeloma and we talked alot about how important it was to live your life and enjoy every moment of it. He was very proud of his family and the support and strength he got from everyone. Robert was a fantastic man and will be missed by me and many others.
