Obituary of Nicola DiCocco

Nicola (Nick) DiCocco, age 87, of Trumbull, beloved husband of the late Rosa Creo DiCocco, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 26, 2023 at St. Vincent's Medical Center surrounded by his loving family. Born in Fontechiari, Province of Frosinone, Italy on December 1, 1935 he was a son of the late Antonio and Filomena DiCocco.
