Benedict Carrozza
A man of many words, large smiles and a big personality! When Dick entered a room you knew he was something special, from his striking white hair, charming presence and loving character you knew he was someone not to be forgotten. He was easy to talk to and even better at listening to what you had to say. He was a proud son of Sheepshead Bay, and a true Brooklyn gentleman that loved cheering for the Yankees, Giants and enjoying the occasional Nathan’s hot dog at Coney Island. Besides anything New York, Dick loved to work hard which showed over the years of his successful careers at discount retail stores like Jamesway and Bradlees as well as opening up his own sunglass store called Shades! Some other things Dick enjoyed doing included ballroom dancing with his wife Lois, listening to Frank Sinatra, and sitting down while reading a good book. Dick or Grandpa D as some of us know him was a true family man and had a loving heart. Early on in life Dick was happily married to the late Edith who gave him two beautiful children, Chris (Yolanda) and Debra and were able to share a 23 year marriage before passing. Years later Dick met Lois who was doing inventory at one of his stores, and it didn’t take long for him to fall head over heels for her. From Lois’s beautiful looks and captivating personality they got married and shared 32 loving years together! Our beloved Benedict Carrozza is survived by his wife; Lois. His children; Chris and Debra. His grandchildren; Alex, Benjamin, Christian, Danielle, Mikayla and Tyler (Aubrey) as well as a great grandchild, Logan.

Lois, our hearts go out to you for the loss of Dick. We know how much he meant to you. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. 7:00pm will not be the same.
Love you Grandpa D
Debra and family, we are so sorry for the loss of your family Patriarch. He had a blessed 87 years especially with a fine family like yours. Now he is proudly watching over you in a front row seat high above. May your tears of sadness soon be outweighed by all of your smiles while remembering the happy, fun, loving times you spent together. – Gary and Gene Barbera and the Barbera Family

Our condolences to your entire family. Uncle Dick, you always brought so much joy to all- I can hear you laughing- I hope my mom, your sister, was there to greet you home. Rest in peace
What a beautiful message that only begins to capture such a fantastic gentleman. Late Summer 2009 my family and I were fortunate to move next too door to Dick & Lois, winning what we believe was the neighbor lottery. As I reflect on my memories of Dick, I think about our many outside conversations about our sports teams, properties, various to do lists and shared experiences of growing children. I think about learning of his basement dance floor and him and Lois going to weekly dance sessions, realizing oh that’s why they left at that same time. Knowing how big a Yankees fan he was by those summer outside nights hearing his team playing from his second floor window as he cheered them on. And I will always smile now and as I did before his passing thinking fondly of Dick when I see the Spring Lental Lillies on his property and the bloomed Magnolia tree that has been the background of so many of my family photos. Sending the warmest prayers and well wishes to Lois and all his loved ones during this most difficult time. McClory Family, Kevin, Melissa, Liam and Marin.
