Anthony LaRocca
August 11, 1959 - June 22, 2019
Anthony La Rocca passed suddenly, peacefully and much too young. Crock, as he preferred to be called, loved his family above all. Pretty much all his conversations began with a story about one of them. Nothing made him happier or more proud! Unless, of course, it was after hours and the room included a stage! It was there, Crock felt most alive! A Professional Drummer, songwriter, and singer highly respected by idols and peers. With accomplishments too great to list, playing in his own bands was to him, his s greatest achievement! Jamming with Anthrax, coverIng the best of Webster Hall, his own bands, spanning Tiny Crooks to Aunt Hildegard...were his fame! Radio play made him happy. Touring let him roar! Survived by his son, Anthony LaRocca Jr (Krystal) grandsons, Mason and Michael Anthony, father, Vincent, sister, Susan Didier (Peter) nephews, Vincent (Jessica) and Peter Didier and niece Mattingly Didier and great nieces Jamie and Kairi. Preceded in death by his mother, Angelina, older brother, Vincent,aka Barney and nephew, Thomas. “It never got weird enough for me” Rest In Peace, Rock Star! Tie My Shoes
