So sorry to learn of the passing of my
uncle Frank.  Both he and Louise were
first class.  I wish I had know them
better.

Dad/Grampy....We miss you so much.  We think and talk about you all the time.
Love, Dean and Katie

Dear Steve and family, 
We were so saddened to learn of your dad's passing. He and your mom left an incredible legacy behind in you and your brothers. Huge hugs to you our dear friend. Heartfelt condolences.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

What an amazing life he lived... and what an amazing legacy. Thoughts, prayers, love and hope to the entire LaRosa family.

Steve, I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you, your family, and your friends to celebrate the life of your Dad.  Victoria and I send our condolences.

Dear Dean, my thoughts and prayers and deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. I'm sorry for your loss.

To the LaRosa family,
Please know that my family and I are thinking of you during this time of sorrow.  "Charles" and "Lou" were always there for any of us who wished to come by the house and just "hang out."  Your dad' stories about his time as a pilot were always riveting, and of course he had any part you ever needed to fix anything in his garage.  Charles is the Patriarch to a charismatic and compassionate family who have contributed, in no small amount, to the joys of my early years.  Mr. LaRosa lived a long and joyful life, and is now resting peacefully alongside Louise in a better place.
As you lay your father to rest today, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
With heaviest of hearts, and warmest of memories.
Gary, Judy and Matthew Moravitz

My sincere condolences to the LaRosa family.  May God be with "The Colonel" at his new address in heaven.

Thinking of you and your family, Stevie. My hope is that your all doing as well as can be expected.  Your father sounded like quite an amazing man and accomplished more than most men could ever dream of.  Time for him to rest peacefully.

Blessings~with love,

While I didn't spend a ton of time with him, I spent enough to understand and witness what an important part he played in the lives of his boys, the true mark of a man. I am also the son of a Military pilot, and understood the sacrifes he made to protect our country, and will always pay respects for that.

RIP Col. LaRosa- you cast a large shadow, and your memory is carried on through friends & family....

I had the privilege and honor to know this man. He was constant in my life for almost 2 years.....he was a good man. He will be missed. My condolences to his family. Im truly sorry for your loss.

We are so sorry for your loss Dean. Love and prayers to you and your family.

A grateful nation mourns its loss. Rest in peace, Colonel.

Colonel we have never met, but I know you. I know you through your son Frank - my dearest friend, the best man in my wedding, a professional in every sense with dignity and wit. A better man I have never met or loved more. Colonel, I know you!

Deepest Condolences and prayers for your and your family. Your son Dean is a wonderful man you taught him well. 

The Kuster Family

My condolences to the Larosa Boys and Families. I'm sure Col. Larosa is flying on high. I am glad to have served with him.

Your loving nephew, Tony
