Barb and Family,
I have great memories of Rodney during and after our high school years, and saddened to learn of his passing. He was a good friend with a great sense of humor and warm infectious smile.

Rodney was a wonderful man. I saw him mostly at our family reunions in the beautiful park in Orland. He was a WONDERFUL cousin. He will be missed. Love you Rodney...

So sorry to hear about the passing of my cousin, Rodney. I remember him as a really fun guy, his marriage to Barbara as my only opportunity be a ring bearer, and a great example of endurance to his cousins and family. I know he was a great dad and grandfather. My family's prayers are for Rodney's family. We know Rodney is watching us, now, with a big Wellock smile!
We love you, Barbara, and your family.
