My heart breaks for all of you. Your dad was amazing, he was truly a special man who loved everyone in his life. He had a super funny personality and that is where all of you guys get yours from along with your kind and caring heart. Aunt Rosemary, you were a strong and amazing partner to Uncle Rocky. All of you took such good care of him and he knew and knows how much you all loved him. A part of your heart is gone, and that feeling hurts like hell - but try to remember that he is with his mom and dad and all of his brothers and sisters who have also missed him for so long - have faith - you will see him again. I love all all you, Marlene, Louie, Jo-Hannah & Sarah xo

Rosemary, Robert, Rosie, Kathleen, Re, John, and Trish. Words can never express how sorry I am for your loss. Rocky was the best of the best in everything, his passing leaves a void in daily life. Just remember he will always be with you and every time you look into the faces of your children and grandchildren; he will be there.

I will never forget how your family opened their hearts and arms to me; and, how you -- all of you -- were my rock and total support with Bonnie.

RIP, Rocky, you left too soon.

Love you all,

Janice Duffy
