Not sure what to say?





Mr Rosio took the Ag students on some great field trips. During summer vacations he hired me to help him do lawn maintenance. He had an old police 3-wheel motorcycle. He was very patient. He taught us to weld, do maintenance on farm equipment and how to judge livestock at fairs. He was by far the best teacher I had in high school. I wish I had told him then. Dan Paul, Class of 1966
May the Lord watch over him.

Dad, Cant begin to tell you how much you mean to me. Can not begin to tell you thank your for teaching me all that you have . I am a much stronger person then I ever realized. Having to take c are of Mom and the Guardianship of you in these last few years has shown me how much I am alot like u both. I'm stubborn and willful and at times I can be quite the handful, but I know in the end this is exactly how u wanted me to be. My own person with my own mind and decision making. I hope I have honored your passing in a way you would be proud. Sit back and watch the show Dad this is all for you!

I love you and I will never forget you!

sleep well Daddy

He was a wonderful grandpa who would not be swayed by his stubborn grandchildren in no hurry to learn English. By golly, he wanted to communicate with us! Starting with Spanish-English tapes being played in lieu of an alarm clock every morning, followed by quizzes, and an opportunity to eat from a purple plastic plate for the day if we passed! He would use every opportunity to say (and chuckle), "it's cold enough to freeze a brass monkey's balls off," and it is not lost on me that he passed during a Winter when he had many, many opportunities to use that line and chuckle.
