I would like to thank everyone who remembered my Dad, I appreciate your kindness, love and support. I know my Dad loved you all. My Dad and I had 50 years of good times from camping to boxing and just sitting and talking and laughing. We didn't always agree but we loved each other and were best friends till the end. Rocky

Rocky & Lani,
The Jack Rabbit was quite a guy! He always treated Kelley & I like one of his kids. I've known him all of my life and he leaves me with some good memories and lots of laughs. My thoughts are with you all.

Jerry, you meant a lot to me and I always thought of you as family. Wish I would have told you sooner. I'll always remember you smiling and laughing. You always did have a penchant for finding trouble... or maybe it always found you? Love you and miss you! Karen (Wolfe) Everett

JD, you were a good man with a kind heart. You never failed to bring a smile into the room! I'm glad I got to know you; even for a short while. You will be truly missed.
