In high school, Rocky was like a Ferris Beuller - he always seemed to push the envelope while having a ball and getting great grades at the same time.  For all the screwing around several of us guys did in Mrs Woods French class, he pulled the highest marks on the final. I couldn't believe it.   I actually got to know Rocky a lot better over the past year when I was helping him get his house ready for sale.  Despite his illness, he always had a smile on his face and never complained, even tho it was difficult for him to get around.  Rocky was always more interested in how I was doing than talking about his challenges. Rocky was liked by all who knew him - a real mensch.  He loved life and lived every moment to its fullest.   I wish I had gotten to know him even better, but am so grateful for the time I spent with him.  He was a class act for sure.  My condolences go out to his wife Gale, who was a great source of love and support, his daughter Meg and his son Rocky, whom I had the pleasure of meeting on a few occasions.  Rocky will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.
