He was such fun to be around! Waaaay back then, we were great buddies. We used to sit in his car in my mom's driveway and listen to music. He would make up his own words to songs, usually hilarious! He was also in a "basement band" which I enjoyed so much! Great times......bye, Rod.

Rod was one of us EHS 66ers. We are losing schoolmates way too much these days. Rest in peace, Rod.
