Aeroyn and Andreas,
I send you my deepest sympathies for your lost. I just found out about Rod´s passing. I had hoped to see Rod this year, one last time.
Your father and I were friends together through elementary to college. So many stories to tell. I have thought about him through the years. I will miss him more knowing I will never see him again.
Gentlemen, if you want to hear a few stories to fill in the blanks, you can find me on LinkedIn or instagram. Rod was a good man.
Truly missed.

He was my first love. Hung out as a group of us during middle school years.
I've thought of him often over the years but have never had a chance to get together. Best wishes to the remainder of his family.

Oh my, My highschool crush. Almost 1 year ago today, You left. What a loss and I must say a very handsome guy with talent that I never knew. May God bless you Rod and all of those that were close to you. My heart hurts now and until the day arrives that we will see each other again. The love of your sons and your wives must play a huge role in your divine quality of life that you had here on earth. Gifts from God that made you complete! I'll always and forever have a special place for you in my heart. Rest in peace. Much love to your amazing family.
Love always and forever, Marian
