All my love, thoughts and prayers go out to you today. I love you "sister".

Stacey and family: I'm a Harrison Class of '59 friend of your Dad. Rodney invited me to join DeMolay in high school, and he was the main reason I pledged Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity at the UofA. He had also been a member of my Masonic Lodge(Pulaski Heights Lodge). He was a good man, and he will be missed.

Dear Barbara and Family, Sorry to learn of the passing of Rodney! Rodney was a good friend and a distant cousin. He and his family were always nice to me, and we had many good times growing up together. It was good to meet your lovely daughters at Oma's funeral. May God comfort you at this time. Charles Adair

Dear Barbara, We never had a chance to get to know each other very well, but Rodney was a very close friend and neighbor growing up in Harrison. We were Frat brothers at the Pike house later but never spent much time together after college. He was a wonderful person and will be missed by tons of friends. I am very sorry for you and your family"s loss. You will all be our thoughts and prayers. Friend, Tommy Rogers

Ms. Shaddox: Although I do not know you, I was one of his Brothers at Fayetteville. I was two years ahead of him. Based on my two and one half years knowing him, he was a first class man and person. You and your children were lucky to have had him so long. I wish you and the kids the best in the future.

What can I say that I haven't already said. Rodney was like a father to me. I spent so many weekends at your house that I felt like I was the fourth daughter, and was treated like one. I will miss him so much. I know that he's in heaven looking down on each of his wife, daughters and his beautiful grandchildren. He'll forever be in my heart.

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May the memories of the special times you had with Rodney always bring a smile to your face and warm your heart. What a wonderful strong man he was. You all have a very special place in my heart.

Sincerely,

Shelley
