We went to Overbrook grade school with Rocky and I think that it's a fair statement to make that each of us had a crush on him at one time or another. We've been texting back and forth after hearing about his death. We had always hoped that he would make it back to one of our class reunions. It's evident after reading other tributes that he touched so many lives. Rocky always made us laugh. One story we all remember is when we were in sixth grade and somehow he managed to make it into the classroom with a cat that he put in his desk. Needless to say, our teacher AND the cat, weren't very pleased. One of us reminisced that if he was chased by one of us, he figured if he was caught, he'd be kissed. "He knew that wasn't going to happen! Too fast for us girls!" Another remembers telling her dad that Rocky was her boyfriend but her dad couldn't tell anyone because Rocky didn't know. And from another of us "Great memories of Rocky. Most colorful funny guy in our class!" Although we were only in school together through 8th grade, he left a lasting impression on all of us. We are truly saddened that the world recently lost such a great man. Our sympathy and condolences go to all in his family.
