Not sure what to say?

Rod Foley had many roles in his lifetime. He was a father, a husband, a brother, a patriot and a friend. Each of us saw him with our own perspective. We all know that he was unique, a one-of-a-kind. We also know that he was proud of his sons. He brought them back together as only Rod could do. The unconditional love that they share will not waver. As we go forward, let us honor him with our words and deeds. Let us also offer prayers to lift his sons, Rodney, Daniel and Benjamin, as they begin...

Rod will be greatly missed. He has many family and friends who he impacted greatly during his time on earth. We had some great times traveling, singing, and being with lots of friends. We made a bet one time that if he would stop doing this one thing for 30 days straight that I would jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Well, I lost and it was worth it. This is one of many things but we had some great times together. Just like he has encouraged many other friends and family to do...

Rodney and i went to school togather and can remeber lots of fun times. My prays and thought are with all of you at this time and in the future.

I worked with Rod in Charleston WV.for AT&T.He was one of a kind.He will be missed by all.

Rod, I will misss you very much. You were a true american hero and a good person to work with at Lucent Technologies. I enjoyed your presents at our weekly luncheon's at Song Tong Luck. You will be truly missed. We will always save a seat for you.

It is my loss that I only met Rod a few times. From that short exposure and listening to his many friends, I can tell he was an extremely wise man. I've never heard a bad word said about him. He will be missed.

My prayers will remain with his family and friends.

Rod, you will be missed so much. You were a true AMERICAN HERO. You did so much for the veterans , and everyone that knew you. Rest in peace, gone but never forgotten.

Uncle Rod and Chloe...March 2003

Uncle Rod...words cannot express what you meant to everyone. My heart weighs heavy at this time. I'm sorry I could not be there for the service, but am thankful I was able to hold your hand and kiss your forehead at the hospital. You were loved by many and will be sincerely missed.

Awe...I have many fond memories growing up. The many fishing trips to Freeport with Dad (Ben Roll) and me. You dressing up like Santa...etc, etc. I'll never forget the first time I heard you request a...

I first met Rod while nervously shopping for rain gear when I was taking the Rider's Edge Course. The weather was misty that day and the forecast was questionable for our range days. Rod, in his larger-than-life way, walked over to chat. It floored me that he thought I was buying rain gear for a trip, he didn't flinch when I explained that I was a true newbie and was waiting for my class to start. It was June 23, 2006.
Rod's son Ben was in my class, so Rod was around every day. From the...
