?Thomas LaRocco was born on August 15, 1951 in Apple Valley, CA. to parents Tony and Jean LaRocco. When Thomas was a young man his father Tony, took a job with a company that would move the family to the Antelope Valley. It's there Thomas grew up to work side by side with his dad for the same company. For many years, Thomas enjoyed his work and the people he worked with. He was a hard working man who always provided well for his family. Although being struck with medical conditions that forced Tom to retire early, he found great joy in spending time with his kids and grandkids. Thomas leaves behind his wife and best friend of 26 years, Betty LaRocco. He is also survived by his brother Frank and sister, Kelly, his son, Anthony and daughter, Dana, plus 5 grandkids and numerous nieces and nephews. The family thanks you all for celebrating with us the life of Thomas R. LaRocco. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to the American Cancer Society.
