I remember when Rocky shared his military experience with our American Heritage Girls Troop several years back. What an honorable, kind man! Also Rocky was the very first person that Mike met with prior to coming to the church. We have high respect for him. After his long valiant battle with cancer, may he rest in eternal peace with our Lord. From Pastor Mike and Amy Rice and Family
