ROZZI -- Leon Rozzi, 72, passed away on Monday after a year-long battle with cancer. He was preceded in death by his loving parents, Peter and Anita; his son, Chris; his brother and sister, Edward and Elise; and his first wife, Marie. Leon is survived by his children, Sheila Sanchez and husband, Joe, Deborah, Gina, Tina Gonzales and husband, Bruce, Deana and his son, Angelo and wife, Arlene; his step-children, Lisa Garcia, Frankie and Judy Ann Jaramillo; his brother, John; his sister, Eve; his former wife, Gloria; his 19 grandchildren; and eight great- grandchildren. Mr. Rozzi was a Korean War veteran and retired from PNM in 1982 after 30 years of service. Mr. Rozzi had a big heart and was the best father anyone could hope for. We will remember him as a kind, loving, generous, and funny man who was always there for his family and always offered to help those he could. Leon kept his sense of humor and his great concern for his family's well being up until the very end when he took the great journey home. We love you Daddy. A rosary mass will be recited on Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. at San Felipe De Neri Church and the Funeral Mass will also be held at San Felipe on Friday 9:00 a.m.
