Mr Brooke Was my attorney back in 2003 I believe. and from the moment I met him I could tell he was a good man. A man of trust, a man of dignity, just an all-around good authentic person. my condolences to his family. Godspeed

Miss you, friend.
Your smile & laughter 
Your quick, clever mind
Your warm flannel shirt hugs…

I will always remember what a kind man he was.....and how his face lit up when the words Bearded  Collie were mentioned in a conversation.
Keep the memories close to your heart Laura.

Laura, I was so sorry to hear of Rod's passing.
It is difficult to know what to say in a message of passing especially when I knew Rod casually, from professional Public Relations events.
I wish you peace, a mending of your broken heart and relief from the lonliness and grief of losing someone who was a life-long love.
Rod was a lovely man who left warm smiles and friendship behind him.  He will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

We met Rod through our Bearded Collie Club events. He was always  friendly and happy.  He knew how to make people feel welcome. He was a hard worker for our dog club.  Prayers for his sweet wife and family.

So very sorry Laura.  You are an amazing wife and caregiver. 
Paul and I send our love and support 

We were blessed to be a part of Rod and Laura's lives providing loving care to Rod and respite care for Laura.  Our Caregivers always enjoyed being with both of them and enjoyed creating moments of joy with and for them.

My heart goes out to you, Ashley, Robert and Cole. His genuine interest in learning about our Army/Beardie life always left fond memories whenever/wherever we would meet up - Beardie Bounce, herding with the beardies, conformation shows or on our trip through NC.   Rod was  a very kind-hearted person. May your beautiful memories bring you peace and comfort during this transition period. 

Laura and family. 
I rememberRod as a special father  husband and beardie lover.  I enjoyed  the stories of him cooking on the grill. 😁he  will be missed. 
Love and prayers 
Bet and Michael. 

I am so very sorry about this news, Laura. You and Rod have always been such a help to those of us in Beardie Rescue, and it has always been such a joy working with you. Rod was a wonderful man, and he will be sorely missed. Deepest sympathy to you and your family.

I worked with Rod for several years at Schlitz Brewing Co. in Milwaukee and Benito Advertising in Tampa.  He was my boss, but more importantly, he was my mentor.  His wisdom and guidance helped shape my career and his friendship solidified us.  He and Laura helped me when I moved to Tampa, introduced me to people and places and made sure I knew I was always welcome.  I will always remember Rod fondly and know that he is in a better place.  


Although I didn't know Rod personally, we shared a love of Bearded Collies and this great interest brought me to know and love Laura.  What a successful career Rod had and I wish I had experienced his wonderful wit and shared some hearty laughter.  I hope fond memories of past times together may bring some comfort and peace to Laura, Ashley, Cole and the entire family in the days to come.  Sending much love, support, and heartfelt condolences.


Paul and I will miss all the dinners we had in Waynesville. Our prayers are with you and your family. 
Love, 
Sandy and Paul Butler 

I met Rod in about 2006, when Laura and Rod took care of my Bearded Collie Penelope so we could take a cruise. I was taken by Rod’s wicked sense of humor, his love for his dogs (and for mine), his grooming skills and his generosity. Rod and Laura welcomed us all into their lovely home and into their lives. He was a most generous man. My deepest condolences to the family and especially to Laura. 

What fun it was to build that car so long ago for young Cole.  It sure took all of us - the lawyer (Rod),  office manager (Laura) and engineer (me) to do it!  A fun experience with lots of laughter.  Time flies.  The  memories are precious.  Godspeed, Rod.
