Eddie, Guy & Rita - I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I always remember him as having such a big presense. I remember all the parties at your house growing up & wrapping presents in your basement for the Local Christmas party. Your father was there for our family when we lost my brother Ralph & numerous other times. He was truly a wonderful man & will be missed. My love to all, Janet Schmall

I may only have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Rossi twice and in those two short moments, I saw and felt his love towards life and the joy his children have brought him. I can say Edward H. Rossi is a great loss and will be missed, my prayers are out to all of the Rossi family and friends, may God be with him and his family.

Rita and Guy, and the entire Rossi clan, words are so insufficient when it comes to trying to describe what a wonderful person your dad and grandfather was. The kind of dad we all wanted growing up, the kind of dad you always knew was there for you, no matter what. A man who ate, drank, and loved life with gusto and vigor, the world is a lesser place in his absence. Peace to you and all of yours.
