Lois, Peter, Andrea and Deirdre

So sorry to learn, belatedly, of your loss. It has been a long time since I last saw Rod, but I will always remember him as a lovely and helpful neighbour. As someone who enjoys carpentry, I was delighted to discover that Rod pursued that in retirement.

Please accept my belated condolences.

Lots of great memories of Rod and family. I especially liked seeing him and brother Gary together. Also Rod always hosted fun Canada Day parties. We miss him.
