I only just learned the sad news of Rocco's passing, and I send my condolences to his family. During law school and for years after I became a practicing attorney, I worked with Rocco at O'Connor, McGuinness, Conte, Doyle & Oleson, as it was known in those days. Rocco was admired by everyone at the firm and every attorney I met in those days, which is no surprise, as he was a very smart, shrewd, and accomplished trial attorney, and a gentleman. I worked on many cases with him during my time with the firm and he was always encouraging and supportive to me and the other associates. He loved to talk about his family, of whom he was very proud. I greatly respected him, and I'm so sorry to learn that he has passed. Rest well, Rocco.

Rocco hired me in January of 1986 to work as an attorney at O'Connor, McGuinness. My father, who received the phone call while I was out, couldn't be happier that a man named Rocco Conte was hiring his daughter! No one knew that when Rocco extended me that job offer, I would one day be marrying one of his associates. We credit Rocco with helping to bring us together and giving us the great life and family that we now have. May he rest in peace.

I send my heartfelt condolences to the Conte family. I have known Rocco for over 25 years, ever since my wife, Philomena, joined O’Connor McGuinness. Rocco and Phil worked closely together on many of the firm’s medical malpractice cases. Phil would teach Rocco a little medicine (prior to law school, Phil had been a nursing instructor) and Rocco would teach her pretty much everything else. Rocco had two essential qualities as a trial lawyer - he would always know his cases inside and out and he was always well liked and respected by juries, judges and colleagues - a winning combination for a successful lawyer. I have two personal memories of Rocco. Once a year or so a group of us would meet at Carmine’s restaurant on the upper west side for a family style Italian dinner. Betsy, Rick and Debbie would come and, of course, Rocco and Eileen would be there. Rocco (with oversight by Phil) would love to choose the menu. He particularly loved Carmine’s linguine, garlic and oil - a simple but very tasty dish. In fact, if Phil and I ever ate at Carmine’s without Rocco, Phil would be sure to order the linguine for takeout to bring to Rocco the next day. I assume the linguine would be gone by lunchtime that day. I also remember the time Rocco came down to NYU Law to give a guest lecture on medical malpractice law. I was a student there at the time and had invited Rocco to speak to our health law society group. He was in his element that day, clearly enjoying the opportunity to step out of his daily routine and teach some eager students. He had such a pleasant, gentlemanly way about him. He was very well received. I know my wife will miss him greatly. I will too. Richard Basuk

I worked with Rocco for over fifteen years and can say that he was an excellent lawyer and such a gentleman that it was a real pleasure getting to know him. He loved our Christmas lunches and we all had a great time. My prayers go to his family and his passing is a tremendous loss for those of us in the Medical Malpractice Insurance community.

Rocco has been my boss, mentor, friend, inspiration and colleague for 16 years. From my interview with the firm, thru advice for places to visit in Venice, thru getting the opportunity to do a Trial with him last year he has inspired me to become the trial attorney that I am today. I only hope that I can someday be half the trial attorney that he was. He will be greatly missed by all. My heartfelt condolences to all his family and friends.
