Roderick J. Crochiere

Rod is always in our thoughts, prayers and will be missed forever until we meet again. David Brown

I am devastated to learn of Rod's passing. I fully understand his love of family as he was my cousin, and my dear friend. I wish life circumstances and timing had not facilitated our lack of communicating as much as I would have wanted. I loved him dearly and know how difficult this must be for his family. My most sincere condolences to the entire family. I know he is watching over them as he is sitting by our Lord in Heaven.

A large grove of colorful hardwood trees will be planted in Rod’s honor, to restore sections of the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire.
All of the Crochiere’s have not only been our next door neighbors on Grove Street, and close, life-long friends of ours, but we also share four generations of friendship between our families. It is with great honor, that we commemorate Rod, and all the Crochiere’s, at this solemn time.
Thanks for so many fun memories,
Kathy, Tina,...

Rod and Jeremy, my sympathies on the passing of your Dad. God bless you and your families!!!

Rod, I remember the first day you came to our house to meet my parents. The GTO and motorcycle you used to drive. The weekend vacation before my freshman year of high school in Saranac Lake NY. The hockey games including the Whalers, Bruins, Indians and Roddy and Jeremy hockey growing up. The day you cut down a tree in my back yard. Not knowing which direction, the tree was falling; we both ran in different direction. Rod, may you rest in peace. David, Gail, Tim, and Tom Brown

I will greatly miss you and all your great posts, and it was wonderful working with you when you were restoring your truck. You will be greatly missed. Much love and hugs to Edie and your family in this time of sadness.

Our deepest sympathies to the whole family. Rod was an amazing person, and it was a privilege to know him the past couple years---and an even greater privilege to have had him restore our historic barn for us. I learned a ton from him about post and beam structures. His passion for them was obvious, and shows in his loving work. We miss him dearly.
