Just wanted to share this photo from IAAPA 2016. He was one of my favorite humans in this planet.

I am just learning of Rocky's passing and wanted to send my love and prayers. I knew Rocky from the many years that he was an exhibitor at the IAAPA show in Orlando. We had some amazing conversations and I loved hearing all his stories about his family and undying love for his wife.

Hello to all! We are so sorry to about the loss of Rocky. I met him in 2004 when he was looking for a space to lease and operate his Penny Press Machine co. It was a great honor to meet, help and get to know Rocky and his wife! What a unique couple. That type are few and far between! Just from my time knowing them, I realized you'd have a hard time finding a couple that had that much class, moral values, respect, integrity and love for most everyone they knew. They were the perfect couple! I helped them both out with anything they asked for. I enjoyed sharing my abilities with them, especially when I could help Rocky with his Penny Press Business. His motto was, never cheaper, always better! What a goal and commitment he had! It was a tough act to follow and required some careful thought so I could always create the answer he needed! Later in his career I bought the company from him! Our commitment to him was to keep doing that! Never cheaper, always better! We took it up quite a few steps with more to go! I know he's looking down and is very proud of what he created! His legend will live on and will be seen all over the world! The latest country we put his machine in is Guatemala. Again it has been an honor to be able to know him and his family! We will truly miss the two of them but will always have the memories we made together!
