I met Mr. Rodney Sr. And his then wife Pat 55yrs ago thru my mother, Althea Hunter. They were long time friends. What I remember to this day about Mr. Rodney to this day he was a great father and kind and gentle man who got his point across. May his soul rest in peace. He flying high with the Angels because he was one.

My dad didn´t always give me the advice I wanted to hear, but he never failed to give the advice I needed. He could pour the truth directly into my soul. When I was up, we celebrated, down we commiserated. Working; he was at my side, taking risk; he had my back, when trouble called he stepped in front. When I thought he would be angry, he was stern but kind. If I made a mistake he coached me back. He fathered me up, then pointed the way higher, championing me through self-doubt. My strengths are a direct reflection of his own. I´m built by him. He got me ready for this world. What you see good in me is a piece of him.
Dad? I loved the man and thank him for my whole world. We´ll keep our father/son conversation going forever. No son will ever miss holding his father´s hand more or owes his father more. Rest in peace my mighty Father.
Roy J. Rodney, Sr. 9/14/35-11/18/23.
Roy Jr.
