Dear Walker Families,
Saddened to find, Rodney's obituary in the RG today. Made me smile to think of Rodney reminding me to call him Rod. I rather like the name. He said, "It reminded him of Sir Rodney, the the Wizard of Id comics."
I probably knew Rodney for 40 years. I was his long time banker, at his co. credit union. Then we played on the same co-ed Masters softball team, "The Swingers." The team came with that name, but it did bring a question or two.
He was a kind man, with such a gentle way about him. I know he was well thought of at FarWest Steel. Wish the obituary included a photo.
With sincere condolences.
