Rockie Allen Mancuso

I met Rockie through his brother Jim when I worked at a GJ restaurant during my time I´m high school in 76-77. A couple of years later I needed some help with a personal matter when Rockie was a deputy. It taught me that at the end of everything, all we have is each other. God Bless, and I am sorry that our paths did not cross sooner in life.

I came to Grand Junction in 1974. Jim Mancuso hired me at the Sirloin Stockade and I soon became friends with Rockie. These two guys guided me as an athlete at Mesa State and I will always remember them both kindly.

I knew Rocky through the years while working at the police department. We had some calls together when he was with Mesa County Sheriff's Office and while working police functions at the GJ VA Hospital. Rocky was always willing to go out of his way to assist and his humor was enjoyable. Rocky will be missed by all who knew him.

I was so heartbroken to see that Rockie passed. He always looked out for me at work. A mountain of a man, with a pure heart of gold. I will always treasure our talks! I hope you are free of pain, and patrolling the streets in Heaven!

We will miss you Rocky! And we will be here for you Nita. Love you all Dutch and Cathy Thompson

I always remembered him as being larger than life and always had a smile on his face. I
Peace and prayers to his family.

Very sorry for your loss!

Rockie was a great man who would do anything for those he cared about. He is someone that will be missed by many. Rest in peace my Brother.
