Due to the recent health concerns and the restrictions in accordance with limited gatherings, the funeral services for Mr. Rock will be held privately by the immediate family. Once the restrictions have been lifted, a public memorial Mass will be held to celebrate Rock’s life. Friends are encouraged to leave a memory of Rock on our website at www.twincityfh.com. The family thanks everyone for their understanding during this difficult time.
