Dr. Rockwell - a kind-hearted man with calm demeanor and a great smile. Thinking about him always brings a smile to my face. So many memories of good times and a great family. He is missed. May God grant the family peace and strength.

Dr. Rockwell and his family were great to me and my family throughout the time we knew him. He helped my father initially get a job and sold the practice to him and was always nice to deal with. He let me ride on his trails and jump on their trampoline when we were kids.

Libby and Mary,
David and I are so so sorry for the loss of your father. He was our Vet for years also. I am sorry we missed the services. I hope your memories comfort you in this difficult time.

Just found out, and wanted to send my sincere condolences to Libby and the entire Rockwell family! Fond memories of a true gentleman with a great sense of humor. I remember seeing a bag in the freezer marked "Rocky Mountain Oysters" during a visit and he explained to me exactly what they were with that sly grin on his face. Great man...great family. Thoughts and prayers for you all.

I resolved this morning to *finally* stop by and wish Rocky a Happy Birthday (a small joke, as he and I share the same day), only to hear it announced in church today about his memorial held yesterday.
I am so sorry at your loss, and that I was not there to share, and help where I might.
He was a great guy, always had a friendly smile, and an infectious happy and serene disposition.

Aww, Susie, what a great loss. I have enjoyed seeing your folks on Facebook. Though I did not know your Dad I will keep your family with my Otterbein prayers. Yours in library.....Alice Franklin

Dr. Rockwell......I've known him since I was a kid working with horses. He was the best veterinarian and friend you could ask for. Always answered all our questions and explain everything to us regarding our horses. One time I had a problem with my horse and he sent the new guy. WHAT....Dr. Rockwell, WHY did you send the new guy. Well I guess he had a motive behind his thinking. Well, the new guy, Wayne Hachten and I have been married for 45 years. Wayne also graduated from Cornell but he really feels that Dr. Rockwell taught him how to be a Veterinarian. Thank you for being in our lives.....RIP Dr. Rockwell.

Dr. Rockwell is near and dear to our hearts. His loss is great to us and our community. Even after his retirement, he enjoyed working with my father at East Penn Veterinary Assiciates a couple days a week. He embraced my father and "showed him the ropes" and he and Mrs. Rockwell took my mother in as their daughter when she immigrated. He was a kind soul to everyone and everything he interacted with. Amazing with humans and animals, Dr. Rockwell was always introspective and beyond thoughtful. He will be terribly missed. I pray for patience and steadfastness for Mary, Andrea, Susie, Bruce and Leigh and strength and perseverance for Mrs. Rockwell; she was truly the apple of his eye. I pray he has found peace.
