Rocco Mosca, Jr.

I remember Ricky Mosca as we used to call him in Saint Stephen's school. One of my favorite memories about him was when we had boys and girls mixed gym class and the gym teacher paired up the two tallest people who were Pam Hayes and Ricky Mosca with the two shortest people which were Jim Albers and myself. I was 4'11 at the time and Ricky towered over me. He was a gentle giant.

We were doing relay races and competing and when it came to running down the gym and I was piggybacking on top of Ricky it was so funny. He made it in several running steps it seemed. Then we had to do a three Legget race and he practically had to carry me to keep up with his stride. Another we did was when we had to do leapfrog and I had to keep telling him to get smaller because I couldn't jump over him because he was so tall. He was a really nice guy.
