Tributes
  1. To our loving uncle Rocky

    A golden heart stopped beating,
    Two hands were laid to rest,
    God broke our hearts to prove,
    He only takes the best.
    If tears could build a stairway,
    And memories build a lane,
    We would walk right up to heaven
    and bring you back again.

    Condolences to Rick,Britney
    And Diane and family

    Love from Regina,Stuart, Biancha and Jacob

  2. Dear Rocky,

    No words can express the shock and sadness that losing another one of you at such a young age brings. First Connie, then Mary and now you. All of you taken far too soon. It just doesn’t seem fair.

    When we had lunch together earlier this year I never thought we would be farewelling you so soon. I was convinced that you were winning your battle. Suffice to say I’m deeply saddened at your passing. Thanks for the good times we shared growing up, they are among the fondest and dearest memories of my life.

    Sincere condolences to your entire family.

    Anthony and Julie Gagliardi

    we are so saddened on the passing of Rocky our cousin. He is now reunited with his Mum, Dad and his sisters Mary and Connie. Our memories will always be full of fun times had on the farm in our childhood. Even though we went our own ways later on in life we always kept in contact and caught up when we could.
