Mr. Rose was one of my favorite teacher's at RBS. He was kind, nurturing and somebody I looked up to. I was reminiscing on FB and saw somebody mention his name so I looked him up and found his obituary. He had an amazing life, so blessed to have had a chance to have him in mine.

Billy, we had some good times playing baseball for Dio. Great memories. Rest in peace with the Lord.
