Joe Briley Good Man, an Excellent Software Engineer, worked with him for many years with Telos and others on the SEC FD Fires Contract and yep you knew he had been Navy when he encountered an avoidable issue that was caused by a bad programming the term cursed like a Sailor sure Fit.

Rocky and I met up in elementary school. Went to Stripling and AHHS together. Graduated in 1969. Over the years we have met up a few times. Last at our 50th reunion. While he was black shoe, and I was brown shoe, we were both Navy. Our paths did cross. "Time is short and it doesn't return again." Rest In Peace Shipmate.
