My first memories of Rodney are from Glenville State College around 1976. As a fellow surveyor, he will be missed for sure.

I didn't meet Rodney until 2010. However, I was instantly struck by his passion for surveying and impressed with his dedication to the profession. Rodney will be missed by his friends as well as all those whose lives he touched. Rest in peace my friend.

As a surveyor and friend, Rodney was devoted to a full life and his work at surveying and farming. I have a lot of memories with him as a member of the Elkins Chapter and the past projects he helped me with. He will be missed as a friend and surveyor.
