Romano F. Rocha, born on April 26, 1936, in the scenic town of Furnas, Portugal, was a courageous, supportive, and loving soul. Romano passed away on May 28, 2025. For 55 years, he resided in Attleboro, Massachusetts. Romano was a proud employee of Swank, Inc., a respected jewelry manufacturer, where he served as a mold cutter for 33 years before his retirement in 2001.

Romano is survived by his devoted wife of 65 years, Agostinha (Serradas) Rocha of Attleboro; his son, Jose Rocha and daughter-in-law, Glenda Rocha of Norton; his daughter, Maria Rocha-Hazard and son-in-law, Timothy Hazard of Attleboro. He was a proud grandfather to Nicholas Hazard of Attleboro, Justin Hazard of Manville, RI; Joseph Rocha of Bronx, NY and Michael Rocha of Norton; and a great-grandfather to Hayden Hazard of Manville, RI.

His love for being a handyman kept him busy, and his home was always filled with projects that testified to his skill and creativity.
