Dear Mr. Rocky Scarfone
I have wanted to write for quite sometime.I sometimes find
it hard to express when I find myself over whelmed with a
situation. I have been so very impressed with all I have
seen you do over the past year.
We have talked several times on and off over the last
year.you have helped me so very much. Not only with all of
my own writing but also all of the difficult confusion I
was experiencing. In some ways I can not believe just how
much your help has also begun traveling right down to my
children and maybe the results right down to their
children's lives.
I could never express enough how much your web pages have
helped so many .
Not just the youths of America , but also the past youths
of America meaning the young and old of today helping
many of us with the guidance of our own children. while
you continue helping others along with supplying a place
for the lost youths to call their own and to give them the
chance to find some hope and belief within their very own
selves, At times I visit different web sights and many
times I have sent youths to you.
Just last week I came in contact with a sixteen Yr old boy
who both parents committed suicide ,While he is left
sitting behind believing he has no right to live. he
explained just a few weeks ago he tried to kill himself
(only sixteen yrs old) thank goodness there was you Rock
to guide him to .I wish that I could give back to you, a
gift of time for all that you are doing ,
I do not know how you keep going with all the web pages
when do you possible have the time when you still can
still manage to take the time to help all these youths not
only with their fabulous art work, music, videos and great
writings but all the youths you also helped with any drug
problems
and not to mention all the time and training you have
given to David. I have talked to him when he first arrived
and watched his personality bloom and hear the change of
confidence within his voice.
where does all this time come from,do you not sleep Rock?
MY question is !! .........Is there some secret of
where you hide time I would love to know. .some lite humor
I have gone as far as spending the time and money to fly to
Atlanta when you were at the Gwinnett fair
.I wanted to seethe web mobile that you had spend so many
years working hard to make happen.
I appreciated the time you gave me to show me everything
and also to help teach me some on the computer.
I know how tired you were after having spent the whole two
weeks there 12 hours a day.. I was very impressed at the
young people who were at the web mobile talking and
trusting in you so.
It was all around quite an experience seeing so many
people interested in all you had set up and all of your
encouraging words and videos you had to offer.
I guess I am trying to say Thank You so very Much for
everything and I am sure I am just one of many who feel
this way.I have read your book house of cards,Only the true
Author could write such detail of emotions depth of
pain , and speck the wisdom learned
I pray that truth and justice will be brought forth through
this issue concerning Tom.
All of our family prays for you,for all that you have
brought forth Rock Scarfone
May God Bless you and your family and bring forth all of
your past back, to where it belongs with fair Justice

can you comment about that?

Hello to all you miss-informed, uneducated(real life, that is), cretins out there.
Apparently you've never the opportunity to meet Mr. ROcky Scarpone. I have not only met him and his beautiful family, but I have the honor of breaking bread with them.
Rocky lives his life by his own set of rules. They are very simple and easy to live by, so I'll attempt to explain them to you.(If I'm typing too fast for your pea brain, sorry)
#1. Treat everyone you meet with respect. What they do with it is up to them.
#2. You can never judge another until you've lived their life. You are probably more f-upd than them.
#3. Always fight for what you believe is right. Nothing worse than a whiner.Boo f-ing hoo.
#4. Unconditional love for your family and friends. Never walk alone.
#5. Know when to listen. You're not always right.
These are just a fraction of the rules Rocky lives by, and those of you who slander him need to re-evaluate the way you live. Great role model, gotta love him!
The man gives of him self, no-one else. He is extremely lucky(and I think he'ld agree) that he has a wonderful family that happen to believe in the good people can do, just as he does. You people obviously have very low self-esteem.
Why don't you naw-sayers come on down to Ga. and introduce yourself to Rocky. I'm quite sure he'll find time to talk to you. Just be prepared to hear some things about yourself you never knew, 'cause Rock will have you figured out in 8 minutes, tops!
The man truly is a one-of-a-kind person. You only meet 1, maybe 2 like him in your lifetime, so you better hurry, time's running out!
If you can't see where this is going, then al of you are dumber thant a box of rocks(no disrespect to the rocks). Later on, you misguided souls. Bill Betz

I took time off work just to respond to the last comment. You certainly can not logically judge a person by the actions of another. The actions or alleged actions of Mr. Scarfone's brother in no way indicate similar actions by Mr. Scarfone or a similar mindset. It's been a while since I last spoke to Rock but I would avidly defend him if it had been decades. He has always been the kind of person who sees people for what they are and calls it as he sees it. He may be harsh at times but I've always known him to be honest. The man has ALWAYS treated me like royalty...even when I didn't feel I was deserving of such treatment; always been selfless...one of the most giving people I've known...and always been worthy of my trust. He's the kind of kind who will kill himself to help a person and do without in order to make certain you don't. I would trust the man with my life.

I came across this blog by chance and I am most surprised at the attempted vilification of Mr Scarfones good name and character.

I am a direct student of the legendary Budo master Kenshiro Abbe Sensei from 1957 and a pioneer of British Aikido. The whole history and lineage was about to be turned upside down by the fraudulent claims of an ex-student who was supported by non other that the British Aikido Board ( BAB ) the governing body for Aikido in the UK. If these claims had gone unchallenged the history would have been changed for all the future generation and possibly lost forever. I am no longer a young man and it was a dilemma how to fight these fraudulent claims.I did not know much about computers either.

Out of the blue I received a message from Mr Rock Scarfone offering his full support in my cause. I must admit to being very cautious as we have an old saying in the County of Yorkshire " Tha does nowt fer nowt " ( You do nothing for nothing )....

Mr Scarfone made it clear that he felt these fraudulent claimes were bad for the future young people of Aikido and his support would be entirely free. AND IT WAS !!
With the support of Mr Scarfone I took the British Aikido Board to first the Houses of Parliament and then to Sports England where they the BAB were compelled to give me a public apology, and the history of British aikido is now preserved for future generations.
Thank you once again Mr Scarfone for your many years of unwavering support.

John P Costello

RE: Lighthouse Sanctaury Youth Foundation, Inc, et al V. Tom Papanier, et al.

Dear Mr Costello:

    We received a letter last month [april 4, 2000, the author had written more then one] from your client Mr. Scarfone a copy of which is enclosed herewith. Mr. Scarfone suggests in the letter that he is amenable to some form of church-based dispute resolution process, in lieu of continuing the civil action in Atlanta. Please advise at your earliest opportunity whether you still represent Mr. Scarfone in the above matter and if so, whether we are free to contact him concerning his proposal. We look forweard to hearing from you and thank you for your consideration.

 

very truly yours,

Joseph F. Fitzpatrick
Associate General Councel  

 

So, Mr. Joseph F. Fitzpatrick, the associate General Council for Pat Robertson and CBN contacted the Author's attorney and asked if they could take up the request by the Author for a Church Based Resolution. The Author was only happy to receive this letter, for he TRULY did not desire to harm those great men of respect, honor and tradition. Little did he know it was just another of the many traps and pitfalls of dealing with Christian Men In Power.

And, not long after, Mr. Dobson's camp did the same.

Soon a resolution was accomplished, neither side would admit to anything nor would they be held liable, all information as concerned them, Dobson et al. Pat Robertson et al, would be removed from pages in the control of the Author, and financial compensation for the cost of the eleven months of battle would be offered the author. A pittance when compared to even one of Tom's weekly speaking engagement revenue, but then again, the Author states TODAY that he wants Justice, and does NOT care about the financials, though this has cost him dearly. 

The Author of Father Figure/House Of Cards BELIEVED that they, these men, would cease support and use their GREAT powers to work "under the table", as it is said, behind the scenes to assure that those who did not know would know about Tom. 

As far as having the case dismissed for being frivolous or that it was a nuisance suit, just read our page and you decide if the facts are not the facts. For the ONLY claim that Tom has made in over 3 years is that the Author has no right to copyright his life story, and that the Author stole his name for this page...
[The page referred to is www.tompapania.com, a site where the Author first published his findings against Tom -- a domain name now owned by Tom because Rock gave it to him after winning it!!!.]

These and other important points were pointed out to everyone. Yet, after the filing of the case, things just got worse. 

Well, with Pat and Dobson out of the picture, the Author then went after Tom, that was what was both reasonable and ethic, even to the Christian Bible! Always offering Tom the ability to withdraw by simply removing the content used from the Author's book and manuscript, the Author battled the case.

To discover more facts of PAPANIA's and GODS SAVING GRACE MINISTRY's simply visit the websites listed below

 

If you have arrived  here by way of Mr. Tom Papania & God's Saving Grace Ministries, then take this ADVICE. Mr. Papanier, who changed his name to PAPANIA, and claims to have been a member of the Gambino Crime Family, is a fraud and liar.

From  1999 to 2009, ROCK won cases in Federal Court., State Court and World Court against Tom Papania. Though ROCK received settlements and agreements , Tom Papania simply continues to violate the orders & agreements because he is desperate to steal more money for his falsified story that not only infringes on rock's biography, but steals from stories of  genuine Gambino and other Mafia members . In spite of ten years of time and costs of  legal actions, Mr. PAPANIA, who claims poverty, simply is no longer worth rocks time nor energy. His time will come. ROCK simply decided to ignore Mr. Papania and allow other people to expose Mr. Papania's lies and fraud.

As far as ROCK'S family members, including brothers or sisters,  he grew up on his own, had hardly any contact with any family members since he was 12 years of age, and simply does not know nor care what they may or may not have done or do. THEY DO NOT KNOW HIM NOR HIS FAMILY AND DO NOT PARTICIPATE OR VISIT WITH HIM OR HIS FAMILY.

AS FAR AS ROCK'S BIOGRAPHY AND LIFE, IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND HAS NO SECRETS. JUST READ THE QUOTES OF THOSE WHOM TOOK THE TIME TO MAKE THEM, INCLUDING A US PRESIDENT, A GA SUPREME COURT JURIST, THE TWO MAJOR NEWS PAPERS IN GEORGIA, AND A HOST OF CHRISTIAN LEADERS  ....

AS FAR AS YOUTHOFAMERICA.COM AND LIGHTHOUSE SANCTUARY YOUTH FOUNDATION MINISTRIES, ROCK FOUNDED BOTH, RAN THEM FROM 1994 THROUGH 2004, FUNDED THEM AND ASSISTED THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE MY SELF. YOUNG PEOPLE RECEIVED TRAINING, WEBSPACE AND ASSISTANCE IN PROMOTING THEIR OWN CHRISTIAN BELIEFS AND CHURCHES. THE WORKS WERE THROUGH THE INTERNET AND WON 45 AWARDS FOR THEIR WORKS. ROCK RETIRED THE MINISTRIES IN 2004 AFTER TEN LONG YEARS

It all began 40 years before two brothers were rubbed out .. a continuity that was written in blood...of the Father


.Death  .
...while  Jeanette, Little Angela and Nana Lou posed for this picture as three generations of  woman joining together in celebration of Life, God and Dreams of Future Joy at Angela's Communion, reality waited but a moment.. just long enough for the flash to die...before resuming its count down to perpetuity... and Death Once More Visited..

The First Born: Joe’s father never truly got over the fact that his oldest son had a deformity. But Jesus provided Joe with the power to love his father. He never held his father’s treatment against him, just prayed that they would someday come together. When his father was taken from him, all sorts of thoughts went through his head; did God take him because of his treatment? Had his prayers caused his demise? The questions were overwhelming. How did he die! He felt that he had been privy to his demise. Did he not ask God to convince father that he was “normal? Did he not ask Jesus to come down and be his father?  His father was taken from him just as he was beginning to be his proud son. What were the facts? These questions allowed a powerful, purposeful, planned battle to develop with in his mind... though crippled at birth, would he rise and save the family? Would he become like those of his ancestors.. and visit death at an early age.. leaving the woman to suffer as all before.. He was now 8 and faced with the responsibility of manhood...

Your father was dead when they found him....."

The need to overcome thoughts of his father lying in a pool of blood: his dying thoughts of his family; his hopes; his dreams -- Oh! Had he felt his agony tossed upon his mind with ferocious intensity! The thoughts filled his soul with a mixture of sorrow, revenge, and questions...  Who was responsible, Tony Black, Sally, Uncle Frank, Genovese, Gambino, The Police... All of them? And, how could these individuals go home and play with their children? How did they join their families in celebration that day so long ago? How could they enjoy each succeeding holiday of family solace and warmth when they had destroyed the very essence of an entire family? Vagabonds were left in their wake of cold, hard silence. Lost in nomadic journey upon an endless desert, burdened by a never ending avalanche, each step of hope foundering in a lucid, liquid sand-trap --all truth and succor hidden as soon as it was discovered! Death could not be simplified and dignified, especially when there were others whom were morning that death. He new he had to leave NY or he would join his
friends and relations...  DEAD!  ...

 
......so many thoughts converged within his novice mind. Revenge was the traffic cop... He would get revenge. They had stolen his mothers happiness; thrust them into a world of sorrow and depravity ended their lives before they began! “The Family”,  “This Thing of Ours”, it had become a ravaging beast bent upon total destruction. It left orphans of society in it’s quest for life. For a mere child of the storm, it was he whom was left to pick up the pieces. Would he ever? Would he truly become the man whom revenged the dishonor and sorrow that was placed upon his family with abstract, total disregard to the repercussions of this disastrous act of  continuing greed? The heroes of the theater spoke up as one... You will prevail! But, what of Sparticus? What of all those heroes whom battled injustice only to die a glorious death in the end! Was he ready for that? Like Charleston Heston in Ben Hur, would he return for the ending the hero whom rescued his family with the assistance of GOD? “Oh, God, where art thou now? Come to me and deliver your power to defeat mine enemies -- they abound like a plague of locust. Send to them a shower of fire and ice! The death of the first born has occurred! Please, let my people go! This trial and tribulation has desecrated my soul, my Knight in Shining Armor is gone. Will you to take up my cause...”      Was God going Nana Lou:

,,,
she was more then the matriarch.. she ruled the roost. Her love of the "Night Life" and "Mobsters" allowed her to forget about her only child.. leaving Jeanette to grow up alone; to wonder all her life what happened to Her Father.. who, one day, also, simply vanished...

Who bore responsibility
to the children..
of four generations?

I came across this blog by chance and I am most surprised at the attempted vilification of Mr Scarfones good name and character.

I am a direct student of the legendary Budo master Kenshiro Abbe Sensei from 1957 and a pioneer of British Aikido. The whole history and lineage was about to be turned upside down by the fraudulent claims of an ex-student who was supported by non other that the British Aikido Board ( BAB ) the governing body for Aikido in the UK. If these claims had gone unchallenged the history would have been changed for all the future generation and possibly lost forever. I am no longer a young man and it was a dilemma how to fight these fraudulent claims.I did not know much about computers either.

Out of the blue I received a message from Mr Rock Scarfone offering his full support in my cause. I must admit to being very cautious as we have an old saying in the County of Yorkshire " Tha does nowt fer nowt " ( You do nothing for nothing )....

Mr Scarfone made it clear that he felt these fraudulent claimes were bad for the future young people of Aikido and his support would be entirely free. AND IT WAS !!
With the support of Mr Scarfone I took the British Aikido Board to first the Houses of Parliament and then to Sports England where they the BAB were compelled to give me a public apology, and the history of British aikido is now preserved for future generations.
Thank you once again Mr Scarfone for your many years of unwavering support.

Hello to all you miss-informed, uneducated(real life, that is), cretins out there.
Apparently you've never the opportunity to meet Mr. ROcky Scarpone. I have not only met him and his beautiful family, but I have the honor of breaking bread with them.
Rocky lives his life by his own set of rules. They are very simple and easy to live by, so I'll attempt to explain them to you.(If I'm typing too fast for your pea brain, sorry)
#1. Treat everyone you meet with respect. What they do with it is up to them.
#2. You can never judge another until you've lived their life. You are probably more f-upd than them.
#3. Always fight for what you believe is right. Nothing worse than a whiner.Boo f-ing hoo.
#4. Unconditional love for your family and friends. Never walk alone.
#5. Know when to listen. You're not always right.
These are just a fraction of the rules Rocky lives by, and those of you who slander him need to re-evaluate the way you live. Great role model, gotta love him!
The man gives of him self, no-one else. He is extremely lucky(and I think he'ld agree) that he has a wonderful family that happen to believe in the good people can do, just as he does. You people obviously have very low self-esteem.
Why don't you naw-sayers come on down to Ga. and introduce yourself to Rocky. I'm quite sure he'll find time to talk to you. Just be prepared to hear some things about yourself you never knew, 'cause Rock will have you figured out in 8 minutes, tops!
The man truly is a one-of-a-kind person. You only meet 1, maybe 2 like him in your lifetime, so you better hurry, time's running out!
If you can't see where this is going, then al of you are dumber thant a box of rocks(no disrespect to the rocks). Later on, you misguided souls. Bill Betz
