Mr. Roddy was a very gracious man.

On one of his visits home to Fort Worth quite a few years ago, he visited his alma mater, Tech. High School and did a motivational assembly for the student body of Trimble Tech.

The kids were absolutely overjoyed when he gave his signature line..."Come on Down!" They gave him a rousing ovation and listened raptly during his speech. Thank you Mr. Roddy for coming back and inspiring our kids.

God Speed.

I also had the privilege of meeting Rod at his mom's estate sale in Mansfield 10 years ago. He was very kind, spoke to everyone and we all got a kick out of him autographing items bought at the sale. I even remember him signing a straw hat! You fought the fight, Rod. May you rest in peace. The Price is Right won't be the same without your resonant voice saying "come on down" to a lucky contestant. TV has lost another one of the "nice guys."

"In the interest of better understanding...." North Texas is a better place for the work of Rod Roddy with "Hotline," on two McLendon radio stations, KLIF and KNUS. This was one of several radio talk shows that served as a basis for the fictional movie "Talk Radio" by Oliver Stone. I'll do my best to maintain the tapes I have of this program.

Early in my career, my first job in fact, I was at KNUS working 6-midnight when Rod did his talk show on KLIF. One night he so angered a Miss America, she threw coffee on him and stalked out of the studio. From that night forward, Rod became my radio idol. That night was talked about in Dallas radio for years to come. I'm proud to have known him and been a fan of his.

MAY GOD BLESS. YOU WILL BE MISS.
