Not sure what to say?

We sure miss you, Rod at the distractionist's meetings .... your assessment of our work was always valuable and heartfelt. And your art work was creative and full of life.

Rod was an excellent teacher and mentor. I was his only Ph.D. student while he was a NIU and his support and guidance was invaluable. We stayed in touch across the years via mail and the internet. I was so sorry to learn that he had passed.

Rod was a wonderful person full of energy and enthusiasm for art. I worked with him at Yucca Gallery for a short time, and enjoyed his talent and sense of humor. He will be missed.

I was so sorry to hear the news. I have always thought Rod was one of the most intelligent, thoughtful and considerate people I knew. Condolences to Judy, Sharon, Keith and the whole family. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.

I met Rod a few years ago when we were on the board together for AABA. He was always welcoming and helpful and a pleasure to know. Condolences to all his family. I know he will be missed.

Thank you for being such a wonderful well balanced man. I and all at Yucca will miss you terribly. We are all very lucky to have had you in our lives to teach us to be calm and easy going. Much hugs and love on your new Journey.

I'm so sorry about the passing of your loved one. My condolences go to his wife and family. I'm a dear friend of Sharon Groves and she speaks so positively of her family. May God be with you all through this transition.

He will be missed very much in the Friday Painters Group, and personally, as a special friend for 22 years of painting together. He was a very gentle, humble and kind person.

I will Miss Rod's vitality & enthusiasm every time our Abstract Art Group meets. I will propose a toast to him at our meeting today as we mourn his absence. Sincere condolences to Judy and the family.
