Rod's passing is a great loss for our community. Not only was he a wonderful person he was also the "Voice" of Phoenix Radio Airwaves since forever. May God's gentle love be with his family and friends.

Rod was a terrific guy, and there isn't a crime reporter in Phoenix who who wasn't a recipient of Rod's good will and on-the-job training. His sense of humor was unbeatable.
