I'm sorry to have lost one of diving true friends,technical writer,researcher,and writer.
Rocky died last night after a long battle with cancer.
Rocky was the technical advisor,writer for the HDS magazine for many years.

My condolences to Kent's wife and family, he will be deeply missed. I've known "Rocky" for over 15 years and he was not only a friend but a mentor to me. His expertise went way beyond the vintage scuba community and we had many common interests including history, World War II aircraft, motorcycles, firearms and much more. If I had a question in any of a dozen different fields, a call to Rocky was usually all it would take to find an answer.
His research and informative articles on vintage scuba equipment and pioneer divers is one of his legacy's and these will be appreciated by generations of collectors to come.
Rocky, we will miss you.

I didn't know him personally, but I know he contributed alot to the vintage diving community. Always sad to see another one go.

I saw the announcement on Facebook that Rocky had passed. While I did not know him, I know others in the Vintage Diving Community who did and he will be missed by all.

I believe I met Kent a few times at Cal Classic Divers in Wilmington. If it's the same person, he was in the business of restoring WWII P-51 fighters. Great guy.

That's the one... Yes, great guy. Hard to believe he's been gone four years now.
