My most sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family of Rocky. He was very nice person, who would help his fellow-man in time of need. I know he helped me when my kids were young. Thank you for all your help and R.I.P. God bless!

Mike, Olga and Family:
I will always remember Rocco with his big, warm and generous smile and his easy laughter. He was so robust and full of life, and I am glad to have known him for the short period of time I did. May all of the good memories of who he was and what he represented, continue to reside in everyone's hearts and minds, and may he now be at peace with God and the loved ones that have gone before him. God Bless all of you in your loss.
