Rocky,
Our hearts are sad and hurting now. We think back over the years and all the fun we had. You have been my Friend since 1st grade and when Tom and I started dating you became his friend also and then when you and Suzie
Got married we all became friends that a lot of years.
It was hard to watch you when Suzie passed away our hearts ached for you . And now you two are together
And we know you are both happy. Our hearts still hurt and miss both of you. We love you two and miss you two so much. Thank you for your friendship and all the fun and laughs we had together. Miss you and love you both. Til we meet again.
Love Pat and Tom
RIP Rocky & Suzie

To Gail and Tinny and family,
It was with great sadness that I read of the passing of your brother Rocky. I remember him from my band days at Southern Lehigh and he was always friendly even to those of us younger. May you find peace and comfort in knowing he is now at ease and restful.

There was never a dull moment with Rocky around. One memory sticks in my head. Suzie came in for his paycheck. Searched and searched could not find Rocky. That's when I learned his real name, Meryl. Rest in Peace my friend.

I worked with Rocky at the Acme when I was a 20 something kid. Some 30 years on I still share your shenanigans Rocky! Whether it was tying someone's sleeves together on their coat, paging "Its Turkey Time!" over the store PA or telling me I had a phone call from "New Yaark" in Rocky's best New York accent we had good times in the meatroom. I learned that you have to love the folks you work with and we all loved you. I will miss your humor and our chats about tractors. Give Suzi a big hug for me for I know you are together again.
Love Frankie aka Liz

Gail, Carrington (Tinny), and family, please accept my sincerest sympathies about Rocky's passing.
I have fond memories of us as kids playing hide and seek, running from the Guinea Hens together at Gamerton then helping your dad with the hay harvest for a delicious bowl of ice cream to cool us down after we were done. Waving to the train engineers who tooted the engine's whistles for us as they passed. I was always treated like family. Some of the most wonderful times of my life that I will never forget as your neighbor across the road.
God bless.
