I was fortunate enough to meet Rodney and grow to enjoy his company at work. I met Rodney at Frisch's when he came to work there about a year and a half ago. Rodney was always quick to smile and good for a bear hug! We had many fun and interesting conversations. He did love his music! Many a late nights were spent sending each other songs and music videos we each liked. Most of them oldies, but goodies or forgotten treasures that made us laugh. I wish I could have had more time to spend laughing with you! I will miss you friend!

I went to Elementary school at Snyder Park with Rodney and we lived in the same neighborhood together. We played at Snyder Park school almost every day after school. A bunch of us kids hung out together all the time. Have many fond memories of those years and of Rodney. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time . Kaye Clingman (Myers)

I am deeply saddened at Rod's passing. We graduated from South together and I remember him as a fun, outgoing guy who loved live and was always fun to be around. Praying for his family during this time.
