So glad to see Rocky has not been forgotten, he was a great guy, too bad he had to leave us so soon. miss you my friend, R.I.P. NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN, ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT MADE SMITH AND WESSON A GREAT PLACE.

Just found out about Rich passing news doesn´t get out to the Berkshire all that well. Rich was a fellow Military Collector and we had some great talks over the years..He was a Great Guy and I hope his family will be well. Thanks Rich Darrell English

Our sincere condolences to the Rock family.

Rocky and I became best buds working at S&W and hanging at the Atlas on Friday nights. I wish I could have met up with him once more. Hopefully, they have Rolling Rock in heaven, where we may once more imbibe.
