Just last Tuesday, I said to Joe, "You haven't seen Rocky in a long time." He responded, "You know, Nick, I almost stopped in today, but then opted not to." Rocky died this morning, leaving behind very fond memories of the US Open and tennis; Osso Buco at Babbo in the Village; and "...just a little milk in the gravy...", the secret ingredient he revealed when he cooked delicious Italian for us. We are sad. Rest In Peace, Rocky; you've left a serious reminder behind for us:
Carpe Diem.
