Rodney and I worked together Many Years. I'm sorry to hear of his passing, he was a delight to be around. My prayers are with his wife and kids. Though his passing is very unfortunate, I know he is in Gods hands now. Rodney and I had many talks about God and our eventual passing and what where we would go then. We had driven hundreds of miles together talking about life. A talented individual. Rest In Peace Rodney.
