Bernard 'Bernie' DeLaRosa Obituary DeLaRosa, Bernard William "Bernie" passed away peacefully after a strenuous and courageous battle with brain cancer, on December 9, 2023.

He was the beloved brother of Mark (Carol), Julia, and Thomas (Sharon) DeLaRosa. He was the cherished son of Mary and Julio DeLaRosa. He was a fun-loving and joyous Uncle to so many.
