Johnsburg mourns builder who fell through ice
JOHNSBURG – With unseasonably warm weather on Sunday, Patrick "Rocky" Rorig told his 14-year-old son that it was probably the last time they would be able to hit the ice on the pond behind their Johnsburg home.
"He said, 'Why don't we throw on our skates for a few laps,' " said close friend Thomas Popovich.
Rorig went first and crashed through the ice. He didn't come back up.
