Looking forward to another breakfast with Mr. Rocque Garcia

Rocque (“Rocky”) Garcia, in his career as a New Mexico State Policeman, was one of the most popular employees of that law enforcement branch in these parts. After he retired as a law enforcement officer, he worked as a park ranger with some of us other park rangers at the fabled Carlsbad Caverns National Park, making hundreds and hundreds more  personal friends from very recent strangers.
Why was Rocky so popular and still is as he nears the age of 80? Simply put, (1) he enjoys other people; and (2) he likes to put other people at ease and enjoy their company; and he is an interesting person with concern for his fellow human.
This morning I called Rocky to invite him to breakfast with another Park Service retiree and I (Jimmy S.) and as the conversation neared its end, Rock (and he is still strong as a Rock, believe me) said,
“Bobby, what did one plate say to the other?
What, Rocky?
Dinner is on me”
Then I said, “Rocky, do you know what happened after the two  plates fought?
Yeah, they were all broke up.”
And I said, “You know what the first plate said to the second plate?
What?
“You can dish it out, but you cant take it.
Rocky has that kind of fun effect on people wherever he goes.
So, we’re looking forward to another chance to be with him soon at breakfast. He’s, simply put, a great man.
