Not sure what to say?

i remember that whenever we went to hornby with grandpa, he would always bring cranberry juice and bananas.

Rod and I were both scientists just out of grad school and joined the balsam woolly aphid project with the Canadian Forestry Service. We had many a good time sharing ideas and research and he made a real contribution to the effects of fertilization on the aphid population. He was a friend and will be missed.

I very much appreciated Rod's logic and wisdom during the time we worked together managing the estate of Allan Coote (my uncle and Rod's cousin). I wish I'd got to know Rod better.

I learned a great deal working with Rod on the Town of Mono's forestry committee...his infinite patience in teaching how to plant a tree so that it will survive during our annual tree sale will stay with me forever...sincere condolences to his family.

Thanks to a friend, we have been made aware of Rod's passing and so to his two sons we would like to say, Pat and Rod were wonderful neighbours of ours, as one of you may remember from your time spent here across the road from the Farmer's Walk in the Hockley Valley area of Ontario.

His colleagues knew Rod as a thoughtful and committed forester. I also knew him as a great guy. Yet, it was not until I read his obituary did I realize what a truly great guy he actually was! All my condolences to the family and friends. A great loss.

It was an honour to have worked with Rod when he was Dean of Forestry,UT. He was an inspiration to Faculty staff and students alike. A thoughtful, compassionate man.

One of my favourite customers ...so sad to hear
