Support the Planeta Family in Memory of Rocco
Our dear friend, Rocco Planeta, passed away unexpectedly on July 2, 2026, leaving behind a family who meant everything to him.
Rocco was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, and a loyal friend. After immigrating from Favignana, Sicily, he built a life centered on hard work, generosity, and putting others before himself. For more than 30 years, he served as General Manager at Classic Coach Repairs, earning the respect of everyone who had the privilege of working with him. More importantly, he was the steady foundation of his family, the one everyone could count on.
Rocco's greatest joy was caring for those he loved. In addition to supporting his wife, Giuseppa, and their family, he also lovingly cared for his elderly in-laws, always ensuring that everyone around him was provided for. His kindness, humility, and selflessness touched countless lives.
His sudden passing has left a void that cannot be filled and has presented unexpected financial challenges for the family he worked so hard to protect. In this time of profound grief, we hope to ease some of the burden by helping with ongoing expenses so Giuseppa and her loved ones can focus on healing.
No donation is too small, and every contribution is a meaningful expression of love and support. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping the Planeta family in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for honoring Rocco's memory and for surrounding his family with the same kindness and generosity that he showed to so many throughout his life.
