We are so saddened by the loss of our dear friend and fierce community advocate, Rocco Pepe. Both he and Marie were so very proud of their family and their community. I feel blessed to have known them both. The entire Pepe family will continue to be in or thoughts and prayers. What a beautiful tribute in the funeral home by the West Islip Beautification society. Rocky would be so pleased. The entire Town is so grateful for the lovingly crafted Corn Hole Game donated to the Town of Islip to celebrate its 335th birthday. God bless you Rocky. --Angie Carpenter, Islip Town Supervisor

Rocky was a gentleman , a great family man and a major contributor to his community . He supported the West Islip beautification society , a local park (Reflections ) and veterans / historical organizations . Every thing he engaged in improved the community and those involved . As his cousin , I saw personally how he supported the family and with his wife Marie was the center of our family . He was in effect the patriarch, however , he was too modest to see himself as such .We had many family get togethers where he made it a pleasure to be there . I will miss his smile , kind words and presence . May he Rest In Peace as he joins his wife Marie . Danny DeMarinis
