To the entire Moore family:
Whether it was in the halls of Mahar Regional, at the family reunion, or any place else, it was always a pleasure to talk to Rodney. He always made you feel like he totally enjoyed the conversation and that your words were important to him. Rodney was always eager to talk about his family and he certainly was proud of all of you. I cannot recall ever talking to Rodney when he was not pleasant, positive and full of good humor. He was truly a special man. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you at this time.
Sincerely,
David & Sammye Woodcock
