To Rocky´s family.
You are all in my prayers and thoughts.
Rocky and I were classmates in Edgemont. I caught up to him at our 50th year school reunion. He was the same as I remembered him. Kind, considerate and funny. He was much loved by his classmates and friends. I will miss our talks reminiscing about our school days.
Rocky, you can now play some golf with Jesus.
Rest in peace, dear friend.
