Maureen and family,
Colleen and I are so sorry to hear about Rod, I remember with much respect and fondness Rod's presence and contribution in the Provincial Auditor's Office. Rod built a very respected expertise in pension issues and thus contributed significantly to current and future retirees by helping to ensure provincial public sector pensions are understandable, accessible and soundly managed. Maureen and family, our thoughts are with you. Colleen and Wayne

My thoughts are with the family of Rod. I did not know Rod personally but I work with his sister, Yvonne and have heard many great stories of her brother. My heart aches knowing that he was so young, so happy and so loved. Don't remember him as a cancer paitent, remember him for the man he was....he was a man of great things! I pray for his children, his wife and his entire family. My deepest sympathies.
