Oh my I just saw this, I am so sorry to hear about Rocky Bellino, I knew Mine and Rocky very well, they lived on Denison Avenue and I grew up on west 37th street, 2 doors down from their garage that was accessed through the alley. A lot of memories that I can’t begin to tell.
My condolences to his family, what a great person he was.
I knew Rocky when we all tinkered with cars (after high school). Rocky generously shared his garage and allowed several of us to work on our cars nights and weekends. We also knew Tom Hrudka from the old neighborhood. Time and distance caused us to go our separate ways, but I often thought of Rocky and the nights we spent working on our cars. Please accept our prayers and condolenses. Rest in Peace Rocky
I am sorry to hear about the loss of Rocky, he was a very nice person to work with, and I was surprised to hear that he passed, but I did know he was in ill health. I had known him since the early days at Mr. Gasket. God Bless you Rocky
