Not sure what to say?

Known Rod since the beginning of elementary school. Rod was my brother's (Larry )classmate, a playmate,and a neighbor(grew up next door to him and his family). Rod appeared to be a bookworm during his early educational years ,so I wasn't surprised by his accomplishments in life.Time and years led us into different directions which I hadn't seen Rod in decades, and was shocked when I saw him at the "Spirit of Attucks" , a few years ago. Rod always demonstrated respect and responsibility...

I’m a classmate of his sister,Connie and sending my deepest sympathy to his family.

My volunteering with the Spirit of Attucks brought me to know Roderick & several of his siblings as I befriended his special aunt, the late Nell Rose Williams. He was loved & respected by many. Sincere condolences to the bereaved family. *Ann Marie Shepherd*

We could talk about things that meant something only to the both of us. We could visit and have dinner together bringing along our sigificant other. On our depatures, we departed with the thoughts we shared, the memories we held, and our happeness for each of our families and friends. I will miss you my good and dear...
