I'm very sorry to hear of Rodney's passing, he was a great guy. I got to know him when I joined the Lions Club and enjoyed his humor at the meetings. I worked with Lois as well and know Rodney was everything to her. Lois please accept my condolences and know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

We will always remember the warm welcome from Rodney and Lois when we moved from Illinois to become their neighbor. Rodney was always happy and cheerful. We remember him with loving memories.
Sincere sympathy to Lois and entire family.
