Rocky Mataalii will always be close he was my roommate at ASU in the 70's. Rocky was an outstanding Middle Guard who made my job as the Strong Side Linebacker easy. I have so many fond memories of Jeanie and your father who was a gentleman, brave and determined in every way. I think about Rocky often and share stories about him with my children of who he was and how things might of been had he not been taken so soon.There was a greater calling. I know he is loved and I know Rocky loved his immediate family and those in Hawaii very, very much.
Sincerely,

Timothy Michael Petersen

Just came upon this site by happenstance. I wanted to leave a remembrance of Rocky. I faced him in a game in 1974 at Sun Devil Stadium, when the New Mexico Lobos played Arizona State.
I have never forgotten the first play of the game, as Rocky, their noseguard, unloaded a forearm shiver with more ferocity and determination than any I ever faced before or after.
It was a tough day. I trained harder than I thought possible for a chance to face him again the next season, but it never panned out.
Salute!
