Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry for Rodger's family! My prayers are with you all! He was a very compassionate man and had a beautiful smile and personality! He will be truly missed!

Rodger was a great friend,we spent alot of hours talking on the phone, he was one of a kind with a heart of gold, I sure will miss you my friend,until we meet again .

This saddens me to see the passing of Rod. As the owner of Pizza King in Crawfordsville, Rod was one of my favorite customers. He always ordered a small Deluxe pizza and sometimes I would deliver it to him, as he lived in the neighborhood. I will miss his smile and kind words he always had when I saw him.

Love you cuz!

Rod and my brother, John, we’re thick as thieves in school. One time I won’t forget, I was giving them a ride home to the Terrace and they were acting the fools. I made them get out a Donnelly’s and walk the rest of the way. They never acted out again!! Miss those good times. Prayers for peace for the family. L

So sorry for your loss. Rod was like a brother to me. Prayers to all. R.I.P. Whitey and Dawn Pruett

My stomach aches from the news of Rod’s passing. Rod was a fabulous blood-brother friend growing up!!! May God Bless Reid and Family!

I'm so sorry for your loss. Roger was a good friend even though I lived several states away. I will miss him..
