We are so sorry for your loss. Mr. Trotta was a gentleman and devoted father and husband. I remember him always asking how my family and I were doing whenever he saw me across the street at my parents house when I would travel in to visit. He had the best homemade wine over Christmas and when I was younger I always remember him letting us use his basketball hoop in the driveway. He will be missed.
Love,
Paul and Nicole Naples
