I extend my sincere sympathies to Rod's family upon the loss of their wonderful man. I had many happy dealings over nearly 10 years with Rod through our work, and he was always friendly and helpful over and above the call of duty. It was always a pleasure to see his kind face and receive his excellent, genuine customer care and service, and share many a laugh; a gracious man and a gentleman. I extend my condolences to his workmates too. He will be sadly missed by many. Thank you.

Eileen, Hollie, Katrina and Chantal.
I am so sad to read about Rod´s passing. Sending my love to you all at this very sad time.
Rod was my first ever boss at Whitcoulls. I am forever thankful as Rod believed in me, especially with my window dressing achievements. Rod was a people person, a family man who loved his family so dearly, a loyal man, a man with a big smile and a huge heart. I will never forget how big an impact you had on my life.
Eileen my heart hurts for you and your girls. Rod will be sadly missed.
