He returned to the U.S. at the age of 18 and lived in Manhattan where he raised his children. He moved to Baldwin where he lived for 35 years, working for the Department of Sanitation.

Four years ago Rocco Dioniso lost his beloved wife Martha after many decades of marriage. Rocco's son Rocco, who lives in Massapequa Park with his wife Jean, said of his father, "he wanted to be with his wife and he's with her now."
