Note from Daughter:
My father was one of the greatest out there. He loved his children more than life itself and would have gone to the end of the earth for them. Although, I was only 9 years when he passed away, the short time I had him in my life are some of the most cherished years I have had. The picture attached to this memorial is of him and I, and was taken just 2 weeks before he passed away.
I love you Daddy and I intend to keep my promise that you will NEVER be forgotten!! I love you! Love, Rocky (nickname, that only my dad called me)
