    Condolences on your loss. Rodney was a good, caring man in whom we trusted our future and family. Starting with my parents, and continuing to my husband and me and our children, we turned to Rodney for sage advice and he always responded with the utmost professionalism and compassion.

    I have been shocked and saddened by learning of Rod’s passing. He was a person who could be counted on in good times and bad.
    To his family and friends I can only say “G-d bless him if he needs a good,honest person,just call out send me Rodney”

    Rest in Peace my old friend.
