I served on the rocky when he was on fort chaffee. He did a lot to keep me out of trouble and trusted me and believed in me when when even I didn’t
When I joined the Guards in 1981 Rocky was my boss. After OSC I was his boss. I resigned and Rocky once again became my boss. After the 937th was decommissioned we were transferred to Fort Chaffee were we worked in the Facility and Engineering Branch both in the Guards and also civilian side, we worked together for almost 25 years. Rocky was a mentor and a friend and he will be missed. My condolences to the Family.
I feel bad I never stayed in touch with Rocky. He was a Great Guy we were roommates renting a house in Fulda, Germany in 1975. Both of us were station in at Downs Barrack in Germany. God Bless you Brother.
