For the past three years, he has courageously and valiantly fought against pancreatic cancer. He was the husband of Judy Rotondo. Mr. Rotondo was born in 1940 in Concord, son of Pasquale and Anna Rotondo. He graduated from Concord High School in 1958, and then attended barbering school in Boston. In 1961 he married Judy Hoar of Lincoln. Upon graduation he took over ownership of Solly's Barber Shop in Concord. They raised their two children, Carol and James, in their first home in Acton.

In 1978 they relocated to San Diego, Calif., where he continued to work on John Deere equipment for Scott's Machinery. Mr. Rotondo later worked for McDonnell Douglas as a research and development technician. He was a multi talented man, and wore many hats in his lifetime. He was an incredible cook, loved bingo, playing polka music on his accordion, and was known for his blooming tomatoes and citrus trees. Any friend could stop by for a haircut, car repair, or meal. He will be forever missed by his numerous family and friends. Besides his wife he is survived by his daughter Carol; son James and wife Barbara; sister Martha Westfall; brothers Fortunato, Peter and Joseph Rotondo; four grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
