Rod,
A name that is said is not forgotten. So it is with you old friend. I know you chuckle as you did watching our day to day frustrations , exasperations and moments of joy.
I am sure you smile and whisper "live the moment it ends too soon".
Guard those gates above Marine.
Semper Fidlelis,
Jerry

I did yoga with Rod many years ago for about 14 years. We were able to keep in touch through the years. He was a dear friend. I will miss him.
Rod, rest in peace my prayers are with you. To the family, so sorry for your loss.

I'll never forget the fun we had together; touch football in the trees behind his home, double dating and trying to survive our youth.

I didn't know Mr. Masterson. Was he the actor on the film ''Deep Heat''? It says he was a SAG member. Condolences to his family.
