Rock was a wonderful person. Even though I only had the priveldge of knowing him for the last five years he played a big role in my life. He was always there to talk to me and listen to what I had to say. I have never met anyone like Rocky he was a wonderful man, and he will be deeply missed by many. Thank you to the Maida family for all that you do for me. All my Love, Michael
