My sincere condolences to Leslie and "Jack". It was so sad to have learned of your loss. I was close to Rocky's grandparents, Elizabeth and John Sr. in Chicago. I knew his parents, Theresa and Judge John White when they lived in Chicago and Park Ridge.

Sometimes, I visited Rocky's grandmother and Aunt Freda in Hollywood, Florida. They were so proud of Rocky. My payers are with you, at this time. Geneva, IL US
