As the Masters starts today, I just wanted to say hi and that you are still missed very much. I hope you are well and I am sure you are watching the boys. They are working hard and I just wish you were here to impart your wisdom on them like you did on me. Talk to you soon. Love you Gramps

Rocky.... Just wanted to say hi. 3 years now and you are still missed everyday. I really wish you were still here but I am sure you are watching down and I hope that I am doing the things you did with me as I am doing with my boys. AJ is working on his basketball game and trying to get him to be more involved in your favorite game, "the Indian game". Ryan is also working on basketball a lot but you would be happy that he is still playing baseball. We will come see you today, but we do really miss you. See you soon. Love TJ

Just saying hi Gramps. We are coming up on 2 years and I can't believe it has gone by that fast. You are so missed by me and the boys. I am sure you are watching them and just know that the video for them has been rolling like you used to do for me. We love you and will visit on Sunday. Love TJ, Kelley, AJ, and Ryan

I am thankful I had you as my Godfather. Although I didn't see you for so many years, I'm so grateful to have had you back in my life the last few years. RIP Uncle Rocky. I love you.

So many happy memories together. The golf,the tennis, the bowling, midnight rides to Sheepshead Bay. May these wonderful memories help heal and replace the sorrow in your hearts with joy and love. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Much love, Sue Livingston

I haven't seen Rock in a few years. If I was to describe him in one word, "Tremendous" comes to mind. What a terrific human being. I'm sure there's a hoop game going on upstairs and Rock is watching quietly with a smile on his face..Kudos for a Great Life.

You were the best Gramps. You will always be remembered by us. WE love you so much.

I am terribly sorry to hear about Rock's passing. He was a great man and a person that treated me as family for as long as I can remember. His service to his country and his family cannot be overstated. The Burkes are one with the Trimboli clan in spirit during this difficult time.
