Not sure what to say?

It was so sad hearing that George had passed away. He was always such a nice, kind, and friendly person, seldom seen without a smile on his face. Our family used to enjoy catching up with George and Marge and their family, as well as all the other members of the extended Rockwell family, at the bygone Rockwell Reunions.

I am so sorry he was such a very nice man always had a snails and made everyone smile with him

From my family to the family of George, our sincere condolences. I remember being a small kid from Brownsville going with my parents and seeing Georgie at polka dances or driving the big bread truck.

My deepest condolences to Aunt Marge and cousin Linda and husband. Uncle George was my favorite uncle and a very good and kind man. I always appreciated and loved Uncle George and Aunt Marge for being so good to me as a child. He will be missed greatly by all close to him.

My wife and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Aunt Marge and cousin Linda,
My deepest sympathy to you. Though we were many miles apart, I will always remember the polka music and good times of our families getting together for family celebrations. Hopefully, my dad, brother, and Uncle Rocky are enjoying some polkas together!

Dear Mrs. Rockwell and Linda, I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your Husband and Father. You both as well as your family have my deepest sympathy. I remember coming to your house in Blainesburg many time when I was a child to visit and spend time with Linda. I feel bad that I lost touch with you over the years. With Sympathy, Danita Klamorick-Vitek
