We are SO sorry to hear of Rodney's passing. He was SUCH and WONDERFUL man to my entire family and such a giving individual. Every year when we held our annual charity event he would help in every way he could with our printing needs plus he was so intelligent. He and my father became quite close. Every time he came in the barber shop he lit up the room. Such a strong presence. I hate to know he is no longer in any of our lives but know we will never forget a light like his. SUCH a wonderful person, he will truly be missed! Our hearts go out to your family and if you ever need anything let us know. We will keep y'all in our prayers!

My Friend...I cannot explain to anyone how cool, special and unusual our friendship was. Funny how race or skin color never mattered. Our experiences, the laughs, and our 50 million conversations are priceless to me.
My biggest job now is not to grieve your passing, but instead I will revel in the fact that we were able to know TRUE friendship....
Never Goodbye Rodney, just THANKS....

Melissa, My sincerest condolences. I was saddened to hear about Rodney. We've all seemed to have lost touch with each other over the years. Rodney was always in a laughing good mood. I will always remember his boyish grin. I pray you find the strength you need with GOD during this time.

Sincerest Diane.

I am so very sorry to hear of Rodney’s passing. He was a good friend and employer for many years. A kinder, nicer, more generous man as I have ever known. I especially enjoyed working with him on all of our St. Jude mailings. I will miss him greatly.

Melissa, Carly, Josh, and Steven you have my greatest sympathy.

My wife Susan and I will see you on Saturday.

Melissa, we did not know Rodney well but I felt like I did hearing all your stories over the years. He was obviously a wonderful man and a dedicated father. Take strength from your family and friends during this time and remember all the wonderful things he contributed to your family's lives. Our deepest sympathies and most sincere prayers are with you during this time, and let us know what we can do to help.
