Not sure what to say?

Rocky, It is always difficult when a legend has left our area.
Main Street in Manayunk will not be the same without you strolling up and down the street. May God watch over you at all times.

Manayunk and Rocky's Sip n Steak. After a night out at the movies or at a club, Rockies was where we'd all go and we'd all meet up with the rest of the crowd or other homies. "Sips" in the '70's was a Manayunk icon. Very sad and will be missed. Had plenty of laughs/ memories with Roc and Sip's.(and later Pitchers).

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Hi Vi,

Please accept my sincere condolences on Rocky's death.
I could have wonderful experiences at Sip's because of Rocky and you in 1972 and 1973. I fortuantely could meet him 3 years ago at Sip on Sunday afternoon when I had a business trip in the States.
God bless you.

i will miss your strange humor, and thanks for always paying for the gas. i wouldn't be where i am today if it wasn't for your advise and help. prayers for the family you left behind.

I am sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. May your memories bring you comfort.
