Although we weren't as close to the Rockwood family and Alan as some of our friends, he always had a big smile and a warm hello for us - and everyone he met. His smile we will remember forever. His love for his town and his love for his family and friends were evident in everything he did.



We are so sorry to hear of your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
