On June 4th, the Rossi family experienced a tragic loss. As part of their father's birthday celebration, Siena and Matteo were spending the day on the water with their family on the Chesapeake Bay. Unfortunately their father Joseph tragically passed during a boating accident.

 Joe was an adventurous, fun-loving and spirited guy who enjoyed running with his daughter, scouting with his son and cruising with his family in his classic ’68 Impala.  He lived for the moment and made each one count. While his biggest fans were Siena & Matteo, he also loved rooting for the Yankees and the Patriots. He was always there for anyone in need and with everyone he touched he made a friend.

 There is nothing we can do to bring back our beloved Joe, and we celebrate that he is spending eternity in heaven!

 What we can do is help start a Scholarship fund in support of his beautiful twin babies, Siena and Matteo. We have set up this fund for those who have inquired about giving towards the financial needs they will be facing in the future.  The money raised will be placed into a 529 account for their future educational needs.

 We know many of you around the world want to support them in this trying time. If you can’t give financially, please give them your prayers. Pray for their family. Pray for his children. We ask that you pray without ceasing for the entire Rossi family.

 Our hearts break for his family and will forever be scarred by the loss of his beautiful soul.

 Best Wishes and God bless,
Maria Nordgren, loving sister.  On behalf of the Rossi children, Sienna and Matteo.
