Rod and I worked together for M V Farrar Electric, Inc. He was always dedicated to the task at hand and he could make me laugh regardless of what type of day I was having. My prayers are with the family and friends who knew such a generous man.

Sorry to hear of Rodney's passing, I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his family. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, and that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.
