Rod was such a wonderful neighbor on Higley. He was so very positive in every contact I ever had with him. He never failed to offer help or ask about my grandchildren. He will be missed.

I met Rod just two years ago with his wife Mary Jo at the Yogi Bear camp site with their grandchildren, Carys and Rhys. Rod was so welcoming and full of adventure. I wish to extend our sincere condolences to the family during this difficult time. He will be remembered fondly.

We will remember Rod's caring ways throughout the years when he helped Carole's father with his furnace needs. Carole's late father, Carl Coller, always talked so highly of Rod and how understanding he was with a small farming family trying to make a living. As the principal of Lawrence Avenue Elementary, I was able to witness Rod and Mary Jo's love for their grandchildren, and the support they provided Rhys and Carys by always being there through their years in elementary school. Rod was a gentle and kind man who will be greatly missed.
God Bless.
