So sorry to hear today of Rod's passing. I often think about some of our wild trips (while Rod was a trooper and later when we both worked at Weeks School) looking for runaways from Weeks. Rod was a loyal co-worker and enjoyable to be around. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time. Larry and Connie Simino

We are so sorry to hear about Rod. We always looked forward to seeing him out around Brandon. He also had a story to tell us. He use to give pennies to our daughter when she was smaller every time me saw him.

So many memories of our days at Weeks School! One is seeing Rod walk down the drive to Wilson Cottage carrying our 2 year old son who had somehow gotten out and was walking up to the road. Danny went before Rod but they are together now with Kevin and all those who have gone before us.
