ROCKETT, Lloyd (Rocky) - Died peacefully on May 17, 2019, at Sunnybrook Veterans Centre, surrounded by his loving wife Nina and his devoted children Alison (Stevan), Jennifer (Lorenzo), Graham (Linda) and Margot (Gibran).
Rocky was predeceased by his brother Paul and leaves behind his grandchildren Dylan, Nigel, Peter, Maria, Michael and Grace, as well as an adoring extended family.
Rocky was born and raised in Toronto's High Park, where from a young age he helped to provide for his family with two paper routes.
After his wartime service in the Airforce, Rocky joined Canadian Gypsum Co. where he remained until his retirement. Rocky could often be found working on his home or his beloved Haliburton cottage, where he spent countless sun-filled days on the dock.
Rocky downhill skied and golfed well into his 80's, always looking forward to the next Xtra-Dry ski club trip. Many thanks to the devoted and compassionate staff at Sunnybrook and our fantastic family on LSSE.
