Right now there are two VERY happy men in Heaven and everyone else there is yelling, "Could you two keep it down?!!!" Those two men are Wistar (Bud) Hatch and Rocky Cavallro. My Daddy, Bud, counted Rocky as one of his dearest friends and work colleagues in his years at Niagara Mohawk. I fondly remember one day when Rocky gave my Daddy some steaks and the note on them read "Choke on them!" :) Another day he gave my Daddy a shirt for his birthday and said "Hope you enjoy it-I had to go to Omar the Tent Maker to get it! " :) He and my Daddy loved sparring with each other and I tear up remembering how, just recently, Rocky came to both my parents' calling hours. I also adored Rocky as a boss and still chuckle over the time I put a CPR dummy at his desk in the Safety Department during my summer job at Ni-Mo. The dummy had his glasses on and the sign read "Hello, I'm Rocky. Can I interest you in a pair of safety glasses today?" Even he had to laugh and admit I had gotten him when he arrived at work that day. This man had a passion for life and celebrated his friends daily. You are missed Rocky. <3

Thinking of you all and wishing there were words to express the heartfelt sympathy we have. Sometimes the many things our voices can't find the words to say, our hearts can feel and understand. With love and big hugs, Hunter and Austin

So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I've known Rocky since the early '70's and he was always a pleasure to be around. He never had a bad word to say about anyone and was truly a great guy. Please accept our sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
RIP Rocky.
