    Very sad to hear. Galen battled for a long time. I will pray for his family and friends.
    He was a very loyal Bulldog.....

    Administrators.....would it be appropriate to move this out of Recruiting so all can see?

    It has been a tough few weeks here in the Tech Family.

    I too had been wondering how Mr. Rockett had been doing. The fortitude he displayed in his posts was a true inspiration. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

    I'm saddened to hear that. Although I didn't always agree with him on issues, he was always a first-rate Christian, a gentleman and full of class-much more than I deserved. He will be missed. Prayers for his family.

    My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Galen was a first class guy. He stood strong against many odds and, even, on this message board - he fought for what he believed. He will be greatly missed by all of the Tech familly.

    Being a Ruston native, I remember Galen from my childhood days. Another fine, gentleman bulldog passes. My sincere condolences.
    Go Tech!

    Sad news for sure. Never met Galen but could tell from his posts that he loved God, his family, and Tech.

    I started to talk to him a little bit via PM after I found out my mom had cancer, and he was nothing but encouraging about everything. I am very sorry to hear he passed today.

    My sincerest condolences to his family.

    Mr. Rockett was a fixture at Tech for many of us, and he was truly a child of Tech, receiving I think pretty much his entire education on Tech's campus.

    I'm sure there will be some sort of tribute at the first home basketball game. He was certainly a fixture at basketball games, as well.
