I am another descendant of the Waterford Rocketts. I am a retired Detective Sergeant of Police from Brisbane Australia. I can remember communicating regularly with chuck via email about hereditary, australian golfers and other subjects.He is one of a small group of special intelligent people that you come across in a life time who earned my respect and I will never forget. I am so proud he was a Rockett. Rest in Peace Chuck. Damian Rockett

Thank you for your extensive studies in Geneology Chuck. You were the international patriach of the Rockett family assisting other Rocketts( and other families) around the world to find their roots and contact relatives. I met Chuck through Geneology .com My lot came from Waterford Ireland and Chuck was able to help me considerably with his family knowledge. I was able to meet a cousin who lived locally through him. I will miss receiving chuckrock2's good humoured emails. My condolences to your family Chuck from Cousin Damian

When I retired from the Navy in 1990 and moved to San Diego, Chuck was one of the first people in the 'Program' who welcomed me to the area and helped me to achieve a successful sober transition as a 'retiree.'His sense of humor and unselfish support will not be forgotten.

I remember Chuck from our days at Rye High School. He was an excellent student and all around great guy. I was so happy to find him on facebook after so many years. I thank God for his friendship. Now he's with Jesus. -
