WHO'S WHO

| FROM AWARDS TO PROMOTIONS, SEE WHAT YOUR FELLOW NEWH MEMBERS ARE UP TO

In Memory: Rocky LaFleur
He came. He saw. He conquered our hearts. Who would have thought that a young man from small-town South Dakota could have
found success and created a legacy of passion, diligence and friendship to all in the Los Angeles and West Hollywood design
community and beyond? That is exactly what Roche " Rocky " Michael LaFleur did, and so much more. Many longtime industry
veterans recall that outgoing guy first at the WallPride showroom and then at Pindler & Pindler, later at the Bradbury Collection, and
finally at his longtime " home " at Kneedler Fauchère.
To that end, Rocky devoted a generous chunk of his time to lecturing at design schools and giving tours to students and helping
them find industry jobs. Honored in 2018 by his peers with a Lifetime Achievement Award attended by the who's who in the industry,
his legacy will certainly be felt far and wide. Among his favorite words of advice to anyone wanting to be involved in the design
community were simply " Just show up. " For he fervently believed that when you showed up, something just might happen. And for
Rocky, it did-every time.
