Very shocked and sadden at the passing of 'Rocco'. Good friend, Great times and one of my all time favorite customer for many years. A man who was so loved by everyone. My prayers go out to his wonderful family.. "Make sure his coffee cup is clean' :) From Me, the original 'Pumpsie Ghoul'..

Our prayers are w/the Rocco family. We are the Friday and Saturday night regular Pepe/Speak Easy Girls. Rocco always treated us like ladies, and he was a fine gentleman who looked after our safety. Hearing of his passing is very sad to our hearts. Rocco, may you rest in peace in God's loving embrace, and continue to look down on your family and friends. You're the end of a very happy, carefree time in our lives, when we could dance our troubles away. God Bless all his family, and give them the strength to go on. Sorry we could not be there in person to send you on your final journey; but we will remember you as you were, welcoming us at the door with a kind word. Jude, Julie, Rose, Sue, (Allen,) Nell,(Mickey,) Sandy,(Bob,) Eileen, Ruta, Karen, Brenda, Ginny. Dee, our sympathy is with you, if you recall,you used to sit and join us for some good music, a laugh, sometimes a tear and a drink. Those were the good old days!
