Cindy - One of the things I loved most about Rod was how welcome he always made me feel in your home, and that he felt it was important to call if you guys couldn't make it to a get together at our home. He put so much of himself into his work and we have been blessed to have had him do some concrete work at our house. Every time I see it, I will always remember him.

For Rod,



Sleep, sleep tonight

And may your dreams be realised.

If the thunder cloud passes rain

So let it rain, rain down on he.

So let it be.

So let it be.



Sleep, sleep tonight

And may your dreams be realised.

If the thunder cloud passes rain

So let it rain, let it rain

Rain down on he.

Cindy, Trevor, Whitney and family,

Words can't express the sorrow I feel. Rod was a wonderful person and a great example to me. He was a very loving and kind husband and father who will be missed by all who knew him and many who did not know him because of his kind acts and deeds. He left a great legacy and example for all to follow.

Thanks, Rod for all of the love and happiness you brought into my life and the lives of my children. We'll always remember the Lake Powell trip...fishing, water skiing and the dreaded invasion of the giant biting gnats! You were such a kind and caring "father figure" to my kids (especially the boys) and we will never forget you. Cindy, Trevor and Whitney, we love you.
