Rodney and I worked together for several years in the electrical field, we worked in the Middle East in 1978 and on several job sites throughout the years. He was a good friend and will be missed.

Words can't express how much my heart broke when I
heard you were gone.i will never forget you cause I have a slew of jokes and riddles that you terrorized me with. Rodney was a handful sometimes but he was my friend and I'm gonna miss him dearly. He really was a good man (set in his ways) but truly a good friend to anyone who needed one. I'll miss you and love you always until we meet again...........
