I am so sorry for all of our loss ~ I worked with Rocco at the College of Social Work. I found him to be true professional and a kind and thoughtful man. We are all diminished by this loss.

Dear Evelyn, Eddie, Ruth Ann, and Diana Jo - The Nateman family (Evelyn, David, Leslie, Barry, and Cheryl) send you our heartiest condolences for your loss. Growing up with visits monthly for homemade pizza and having you as our second family was very important growing up. As the kids co-mingled, it was at times difficult to remember who actually belonged to which family. Please know that Rocco and you all are in our hearts and we love you very much.
