He will be missed by his wife Jaclyn McGlade, parents, sister and brother. Rod/Rocky’s passing will also be felt by his brothers and sisters in law as well as his nieces and nephews, aunts and cousins. During his illness he was surrounded by his family and friends, keeping his and their humor up and enjoying each and every person who came by to pass some time with him.
