I cannot express the shock and surprise I felt when learning that Rodney passed away. My heart breaks, he was such a wonderful man and a great friend. He and Bonnie were like family that I would visit once a year for a family reunion and tax session. I'd like to offer my condolences to his family. He will be missed!

Thank all of you for your kind words and sympathy upon learning of Rod's passing. He was the best brother, son, uncle, nephew, cousin, companion and friend that anyone could want. I do believe his memory will live forever in the lives of all those he met. As one of his last requests, we all (150 souls) danced to "Brown Eyed Girl" at my daughter's wedding this past weekend in Athens GA. We passed a good time in his memory.
Our love to you all

Rodney was a great friend and an outstanding Auxiliarist. I enjoyed patroling with Auxiliarist Meyers and fishing with Captain Lucky. Rodney always had a smile on his face and a joke on his tongue. He will be greatly missed. His family is in our thoughts and prayers.

I can't say it better than Stacy did. The world is a better place and we are better people because we were lucky enough to have Rodney in our lives. He brought joy to everyone and every experience. It was so beautiful to see he and Laura so happy together. Now, I think he and my Dad are fishing and catching the limit (oh, there probably is no limit) and Rodney is cooking it all up in heaven. We love you and miss you, Rodney. Carolyn and Mama.

Rodney was a great friend and great CPA. We walked many a mile in the Irish and Italian parades and had a great time. Rodney loved life and lived it to the fullest. He is now in heaven marching and fishing. Find the good fishing holes for when we meet again, Rodney.

There are no words to describe the deep sorrow I feel. Uncle Rodney was a real "character" and a jewel of a person. I have such fond memories of him and the wonderful times our families shared. He was a man greatly loved by his family and friends.

He will be sorely missed.

I was shocked to hear of Rodney's death. Rodney was a neighbor of mine back in the 1970's in Terrytown and remained a good friend even when we all moved away from the neighborhood. He was always willing and available to answer all of our tax questions and continued to help in any way he could. Condolences to his family; he will be missed.

Rodney was one of the most helpful, considerate and kindest persons I was ever lucky enough to know. When ever asked to do something, it was always "yes." He was a good friend first and my accounatant second and I will (and do) miss him terribly. Rodney is in a better place, and I wish him nothing but peace.

Words cannot describe the loss that I feel for one of my oldest friends, although we haven't spoken in a very long time does not mean I never thought of Rod, a Great Guy to grow up with, had very many fun times together. Rest Well, Loved Ya, Will Miss you.

Words can not express how much Rodney meant to so many people. He was a great teacher in and out of the classroom. Rodney taught others to love and enjoy life. His greatest trait was showing others how to "pass a good time"
We will never forget the fishing trips (always an adventure), dinners, Crawfish boils, etc. Rodney always wanted to make others happy and he did that very well.
The world is a better place because he was here!!!!!
It was great to see how happy he and Laura were and how much love they shared.
I know that Rod will live on in all of our hearts forever.
God bless and Laura please know that we are always here for you !!!
