My sympathy for many lifelong friends and family members, that grieve the loss of Rodney. I met Rod in the early nineties. I enjoyed his generosity, patience, lighthearted teasing, and welcoming smile. He had been an attentive and gentle Father for his then young girls. He was humble and happy with simple things, and nurtured his children to be considerate and caring. I appreciate all the times he made me smile, laugh and entertained everyone with his art and the family pet. My deepest sympathy for "Grandpa" Joe, Stacy, Laney, Lauren, Brothers' and Sisters'.
