My Dad, "Big Tony" DiRe passed away peacefully this morning at his home in Connecticut. He had many health issues and was able to pass without too much pain or discomfort. A post re. funeral arrangements and calling hours in Wrentham MA, at Ross' Funeral Home, will be posted in the next day or so. Services will be toward the end of the week. He had many friends through his years in Plainville, at Heather Hill Golf Club and at KP Regional. Feel Free to share with those who knew him.. And those who knew him as "Rocky..." Knowing his health issues we feel very blessed that he was able to pass so peacefully.
