Kathy,
I know we have never met but this is Joe, Marie Rocco's husband. Just heard about Chris's passing and wanted to offer my condolences from both Marie and I. I never met Chris but Marie always spoke so fondly of him and the times they spent in New Dorp. I think he carried her out of the riots on his shoulder. For years I thought his name was Chris Drucker because we both still had some good SI accents going on. Marie was devastated when she found out Chris was ill, and Im glad they got to correspond a bit. Im not sure if she got up to see him that summer of 2012, but I hope she did.
I know what its like to lose a spouse, and I can only offer thoughts and prayers, and a sincere hope for you that you can get through this difficult time. I like to think that Chris and Marie are hanging out in a park somewhere drinking a beer and reminiscing about old times. Maybe that thought can give you a little comfort too.
God Bless,
Joe Greco
