Rod and I have the same first and last name, we referred to each other as brothers from other Mothers...Rod always made us laugh and when he went away for the winters he would always remember us at the GWB, with a box of oranges...his thoughfulness, hurmor and good nature will be missed. He always keep in touch...as another friend said "another Good One gone..."
