Rocky and I have been close friends since 1985 when I opened an office up just across the hallway from his. I would help him with his business when he needed it and he was always be there with advice for me when I needed it. Once or twice a month we would go out to dinner at different restaurants. We had great times together especially during the fall season as we both loved to watch college football. I have and will miss him greatly!

Rocky, My mentor and friend. You were a great man and a great screen writer. You were there for me when no one else was. You guided my life path and I believe you to be one of the great men of our century. Bye Rock! I miss you dearly!

Rocky became my friend starting in the 5th grade. We reunited in high school and had some great times all during our Wilson days. Those days will never be forgotten.
See you later Rock,
