I loved this article - how great to get that much of a write-up! Sounds like Rocky was a great guy.

BTW, did anyone else notice that the author of the piece was described as having written obituaries for the paper since 2004? I wonder what sort of a personality is required to do something like that for so long...

Yeah, I noticed the obit writer's name too because the sports writer for my local rag has the same last name, so I clicked on the Post guy's picture to see if he might be related. He has a long career bio with many positions and credits in areas of journalism other than writing obits, so he must really enjoy that form.
