Blessings to the lovely family of Rocky. We enjoyed Rocky in the Monterosa neighborhood, and we will all miss him greatly. Our hearts go out to Rosie, whose loving care made all the difference.

Rocky was and will always be an inspiration to me. If I was having a bad day, I'd simply look across the street and see Rocky out on his walker, watering his lovely flowers and I'd immediately be so inspired that whatever might have been bothering me was no longer. Rocky always waved to say hello and spoke with passers-by with a kind word, making their day just a little more special. God Bless Rocky and his loving family during this difficult time.

This will be a sadder world without Rocky. His sense of humor and his laugh were contagious. Deepest sympathy to Rosie and his children and grandchildren. I know how much he will be missed.

Uncle Tom will be sadly missed. He was loved much, made me smile and laugh, and always had a hug for me. Rest in peace Uncle Tom. We love and miss you

I met Rocky when he started dating my sister, Rosie,many years ago. I had never met anyone quite like him before and have never met anyone like him since. He and Rosie took me and my daughter into their home and gave me a new start in life. He was an exceptional person and I am proud to call him my brother. I have countless good memories and I will love and miss him always.
