In December 2000, the Globe told the story of Roque “Rocky” Abalsamo, who spent nearly every day, all day, at the West Roxbury gravesite of his beloved wife, Julia “Julita” Echeverria Abalsamo. Rocky, who was then 84, had kept vigil during the seven years since his wife’s death, in rain and snow, heat and cold, arriving when St. Joseph Cemetery opened and trudging home to his Jamaica Plain apartment when it closed.
Rocky died Jan. 22 at Stonehedge Health Care Center in West Roxbury after several months of declining health, said his daughter, Angela Arai of Hanover. He was 97.

He was in his 90s, what else does he have to do. Now if he was in his 30s then something may be a little wrong.

He could've done a lot of living in those years.

Great tribute

Dude they loved each other for 55 fricking years. Im pretty sure youd be pretty dang distraught if you lost what was probably the only constant in your life for 55 years.

Very true. It's hard to find a really good sandwich.
