Doc. Rosina was one of the most amazing people and inspiring teachers for me. He always had a kind word, or a joke, or a smack upside the head when I needed it. I am saddened to hear of his passing and honored to have been among those whose lives were affected by him. Be at peace, Doc! I'll miss you.

Dr. Rosinia was truly one of my favorite teachers. I had him in 10th grade and he was usually the highlight of my morning! Dr.R always made sure we laughed as well as learned. He was a brilliant man with the best stories.

Dr. Rosina was influential in my life in regards to making me a better student and human being. He gave his students real world college preparation as early as high school freshman. Some, myself included, initially took his teaching methods for granted, but soon thereafter realized that he was one of the most impactful persons I had crossed paths with in my young life at that time. Dr. Rosina made a huge difference in the lives of many young men and women. He will always play a part in positively motivating not just how I live the rest of my life, but in the values that I teach my son.
Dr. Rosina will be missed.

Doc was one of my favorite teachers ever, not just at McMain. He was alway tough, but fair. I thank you for sharing him with me while on this planet. I give you my sincerest condolences. He will never be forgotten.

Dr. Rosinia was one of my favorite educators who I credit for being who I am today. Dr. Rosinia challenged me to think, not accept mediocrity and wouldn’t accept anything less than he knew I was capable of. I also think about him yelling for students to clear the hall even after he would lock us out for being late and his stories about him standing on his back porch yelling at his grass because it was growing to fast. Doc you are always in my heart.
