He successfully owned the Wayzata Pharmacy in Minnesota and the Brooks Pharmacy in Estero, FL. He was compassionate, caring, and a genius at compounding people's prescriptions with the soul intent to alleviate pain and suffering. He took care of the whole person and their families and prayed over every prescription before dispensing it. He loved the outdoors and travel. His main focus while traveling was not sightseeing, but on the people, he would meet and if there was any way he could help them. On one occasion, he missed his plane helping someone who was in a wheelchair in the restroom. Rocky passionately read anything that was inspiring and interesting. He had an extreme curiosity of how things worked and were made. He always spoke with such passion about his 5 missions to the International Health Services in Honduras. He loved every minute of those trips. He loved his family and was proud of every single one and always had a word of encouragement and love for them. He was an amazing mentor to his family and his extended family in AA, where he was very active and sober for 41 years. Every day, he would say, “Here I am, Lord, what are we going to do today?” How can I help you? He had an immense love for the Lord. He saw Jesus in every person he met. He made a difference in so many people and literally saved lives.
