Rocco "Rocky" Pirro
January 26, 1995

Dad,

Another bowl win for SU!

You would be so proud!

You devoted your life to football and although eighteen seasons have come and gone, your spirit is still alive at every game!

Keep cheering the Orange with Mom and Tom!

I love and miss you,

Rockette

The above appeared in today's paper.

Rocco will always have a special place in my heart.

When my kids were little they used to spend time at the Solvay Geddes Youth Center

Mr. Pirro always protected them from bullies. As you can imagine he was a tresure trove of information about that special team from 1959 and Ernie Davis.
 
Amazing that the helmet has the Block S on the championship ring! Never knew that. Another tie to the past. Also love the Saltine Warriors inscription!
