Rod became my first real friend when I moved to Cape Cod in 2001. Over the years I got to know 2 of his grandchildren and watched them grow into wonderful young men. Both with the same kind heart and wonderful soul of their grandfather. I will miss you Rod...your great cards and thoughtfulness. Thanks for proving there are fish in Lake Chateguay! I will treasure your memory.... Love, Gina
