Rod and I were neighbor hood friends almost like brother and sister when we were young. I remember spending days playing monopoly on his grandmothers dining room table. He was the one who took me for my driver’s permit. He was such a good person he will be missed. RIP my old friend.

My deepest sympathy to Rod’s family. I met Rod after high school, a dear friend for many years. We kept in touch even after I moved to NJ. I always appreciated his kindness, his friendship and his ability to expand my love of music through introduction to various rock groups , the Eagles in particular.
