Dear Chuck, I came across your father's obituary by chance and was so sorry to know he had passed away. Know that you are in our hearts and prayers. Gene and Dawn Walker

I had the pleasure of working with Rodney. He was caring and funny with a mischievous grin. He danced with me at my wedding and burned me with his pipe! Rodney was certainly one of a kind. My condolences to his family.

My prayers are with your family rip Rodney...

May you find peace in this most difficult time. God is not far off from you, he hears your cries and he will help you to endure. My sincere condolences to your family. Acts 17 : 27

I worked with Rodney at The Observer for quite a few years. I was a young editor, and he introduced me to the ways of hot type and his composing room. I can still hear his laugh, and most of all I remember his professionalism and cheerfulness. He always wanted to do the job the best way. He was a memorable character.
