  25. Michael,Sue, Barbi and family Rob and I are so sorry for your loss. Rocky was a great brother, a great friend, and a great man with a boisterous personality! He would always give a helping hand if you ever needed help. He would always have a joke, a loud long great story, which I always enjoyed sharing a joint with him while he told his story! I will always remember about 10 years ago at the red light on broad street I was on the back of a motorcycle, I could hear rock’s loud rubbeling voice telling a story in city tavern dug out!!!That still brings a smile to my face thinking of it!! No July 4th picnic or Superbowl party will never be the same without you there brother, but we will always have our memories of you.. You are and will be in our memories always! Rest in peace brother, love ya!!!!

  26. Michael, Sue, Barbi and family sorry for your lose. Rocky was a great brother, a great friend and a great man! Rock always had a great story that was loud and full of great funny details. Our parties and picnics will certainly not be the same not having the sound of a boisterous Rocky telling a great story. He was also great helping out when you needed a hand getting something done. I will have great memories of rocky. Rest in peace brother we love ya!!
