Angels always leave us when their job is complete. But we never forget how they changed our lives. Sad Miss him year after year. Still don´t understand what happened.

He was an angel sent from God to make our lives pleasant; I still do not know how he passed - he had his surgery for the sinuses was free again - all i can think of is he also suffered from something that indirectly takes your life; I hope I will see him in Heaven - he will forever be in my heart. Gloria.
I send my love to Barbara and his brother and sister in law - whom he loved - that's how siblings rolllllll.

I am grieve stricken and cannot imagine he is gone. Rodney was the love of my life. I was googling him to find him once more and come upon his obituary! My number is 305-215-1938. I am heart broken.
He had his sinusitis surgery and was cured of his ailment. I travelled all the United States with him Rv style. Devastated. Thought he would live a long time. If anyone knows what happened please post. I can´t even get in touch with his mom Barbara or brother; lost touch;
Yes Rod is all the things everyone says about him.

I met Rod many years ago in Europe but lost touch awhile back. He was an amazing person. Very optimistic, kind and courteous. I am so sorry about your loss.

I met him years ago, and just learned of his death. Stunned. What happened? He was so young?

We were buddies in middle school and high school. Lost touch over many years but I only remember his honest friendship and drive to succeed. Rest In Peace.

The world is considerably less without Rod's infectious smile. We drifted apart over the years but I valued our many experiences together before, during and after my marriage. Barbara, I tried to find you many times and I hope you know that I care for you and I have missed you. I found out about this about 2 weeks ago. My heart goes out to you and I am incredibly sorry and sad for you and the friends who loved Rod like a brother.

Barbara, my heart goes out to you and Chip on the passing of Rod. So many years have gone by since we were neighbors but one does never forget memories. I go to the beach house at Isle of Palms three or four times a year and would like to see you if possible. I am still at the same house in Elm Abode living by myself. Jerry Rhodes
