Rocco DeGiulio, age 86 of Novi passed away on November 26, 2017.
Rocco was born on July 9, 1931 in Bari, Italy the son of Francis and Rosina (nee LaTorre) DeGiulio.

He is also deeply loved and will be greatly missed by his brother Angelo (Joy) DeGiulio, and many nieces and nephews. He is pre-deceased by his brother, John DeGiulio, and his sisters, Angeline Barkey and Michele DeGiulio.
In February 1953, at the age of 21, Rocco entered into the United States Army. He proudly served during the Korean War.
Music and dance brings no harm to anyone, and Rocco loved both listening to music and dancing. Psalm 149:3 teaches us, “Let them praise His name with dancing;” Rocco is experiencing the sound of the most beautiful music ever heard and is dancing in heaven today.
