Growing up I really enjoyed your presence and babysitting for your children. The Wall Street Journal at your home which I read was an inspiration for me to pursue a masters in business. Later in life, I am sorry that I did not see you and your family more. My wife and two children did enjoy the few times we were with you after we left Virginia. I often asked my Father about you and he kept me up to date.

Dear Nancy and Family. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I shall always remember Rodney as a good friend. He helped me so much when I first met him and during the last year he called often with deep concern about my wife's health. He was that kind of friend, always listening and encouraging. After retirement when we would have lunch, he always talked about his family and how proud he was of each and every one. I shall miss his calls and encouragement. God bless all of you and I thank God that I had the priviledge of knowing and working with Rodney.
