G. Rodney Johnson

I was blessed to sing in the FPCB Chancel Choir with Rod for 15 years. I had open heart surgery last summer, and he was always so kind to me about this shared experience, speaking of it with good humor and encouragment. He will be greatly missed!

I had the honor a pleasure of singing in the First Presbyterian Church Chancel Choir with Rod. His passion for God, music, rowing, UW, and his wife & family were always present. I will especially miss his smile, kindness and humor. God bless.

I will greatly miss seeing Rod at the Pocock Center. No matter the weather, Rod and Bill Cameron would show up to row their double and their pair rowing shells. I was inspired by his athletic ability, excellent humor, and relentless competative fire. My condolences to Rod's family.

I was also a Theta Chi and my old friend Leo Gese got it right. Rod was a great guy who I remember well. My condolences to Joyce and the family.

I pledged Theta Chi one year after Rod.We brothers could alsways count on a friendly smile and a happy greeting from Him.He remains one of the Fraternitys Great Ones Jan,ist 2010

I had the good fortune, along with many other Los Gatos Rowing
Club masters, to row with Rod and his long time rowing partner, Bill, in many FISA regattas. He was a role model for all of us. I speak for all of us in wishing his family our condolences.

I was a substitute rower for the Ancient Mariners back in the 90s. Rod's expertise as a rower and his terrific sense of humour helped to make the experience one of my most cherished. My best wishes and prayers to his family.
