Not sure what to say?

My condolences to his family. I got to know Dr. Rock at Pres Hospital when I worked as a messenger. I would see him in the hallways and he would always have a smile and he would always greet me and say Hi, Flaca, which means skinny, and I would greet him and call him Flaco too and he would laugh and walk away saying see you later. I would always look forward to see him and another Dr. Best. They would always make my day. God bless you Dr. Rock.

I am so sorry to here about your dad's passing. He was a great guy and played the saxaphone very good. Your mom & dad were client's of Atkinson & Co./CLA and that's where I work. I got to know them both very well. They were both wonderful people!! May he RIP

I worked with Dr. Rock during his time with the VA; so sweet, extremely funny, very caring. I always looked forward to seeing him at work. He will be missed very much.

Dr. Rock was a sympathetic and caring person. I met him in Smith's and it was grand to see him and reminisce. I think of him many times and I know he is missed. I loved the trombone playing too.

Many years ago, with an injured back, walking like a Chinese princess (6" steps), I was referred to Dr. Rock. Amazing bedside manner, offering the right exercises where less than a week later normalcy returned. A serious healer within the medical community...rest in peace, you earned it.

I'm so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. I always enjoyed his company. He played at my wedding reception and boy, it was a blast. Sending lots of prayers. Leslie Woodward

My deepest sympathy to Dr.Rock´s loved ones. Worked with him at Presbyterian. So much fun and kind to the staff. Blessings to him.

Dr. Rock was truly a jem. I have many fond memories of him at the VA hospital. Rest in peace my friend...
