The world takes away the greatest people to soon. Very sad to hear of your passing Rock. Just reminiscing all the fun times at School Camps , always the life of the party. The tricks you use to play on the kids, the places you use to hide to scare them, it was just an ongoing joke with you. Love & thoughts to all your family. Sorry we can't make your final journey but our thoughts will be with you. RIP ROCK

It has been a while since Rock and I shared a beer or two and I am saddened to hear of his passing. We shared a number of good years in the TA College 1st XV and as school mates in general. Some memories don´t fade regardless of time passed, and I will remember the hard man he was and the good times we shared in that context.
