did any of you know Jim "Rocky" La Rocco the Isshinryu Master?
Sensei La Rocco was a 9th dan in Isshinryu and lived and taught here in Cumming, Georgia. He passed away suddenly on Saturday afternoon April 5th, 2014. When I moved to Georgia in 2008, La Rocco Sensei quickly became my best friend here. He was always open to my input on training and often had me share my training even though it was not Isshinryu. The martial arts world lost a great man in his passing. I was just wondering how many of you knew him or had heard of him. Those that knew him were lucky. He will be missed by many people both within the martial arts and those that were not.

Met a sensei about 15 years ago at THE BATTLE OF ATLANTA who was introduced to me as ROCKY .He was wearing the distinctive ishinryu crest .Sorry to hear this as I found him to be a humble genuine martial artist.

I am way too far away, to know anyone from there, but just from the memorial, someone can tell that he was a very good friend of yours and a person of a good positive influence, to those that knew him and on what he was doing.
May the memories of your friend continue this. My condolences to you, his friends and his family.
