Nancy, My heart goes out to you, your family and all Rocky's friends of which there are many.

Nancy, Sorry to hear of your loss. Rocky was a great guy and will be missed by many. I still remember the look he and I got from Principal Fournier when I introduced him at graduation as "Rocky" instead of Verlin Eugene McSweeney as printed on his diploma. He was a major part of our reunion committee for years.

Nancy I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your dear husband Rocky. He was a great guy. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Nancy, so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Nancy, I am Joyce Couper's sister, and I was in the same class as Rocky. He & I became closer friends with each passing reunion. I admired his wit and talent, loving his books and urging him to write another. We emailed occasionally but not recently. I am so sad for you and your family. He loved you all so much and was so proud of you. May your many friends and close family members comfort you in this very sad time.

Sorry to hear. Praying for Nancy and family
