So sad to hear of Rodneys passing. Something I wasn't expecting. Rodney was one of my work mates when he was serving his carpentry apprenticeship with 'Harrison and Webster', late 60s-early 70s. What I admired about Rodney, was his honesty and decent principles. He was good company, always gave his best and he earned my respect. The last time I saw Rodney was in 1972 when I left the firm some 50 years ago. Lately he has been on my mind and I've been thinking, I must look him up and have a catch up. Sadly, I have missed that chance, but I have never forgotten Rodney. I have many fond memories of him. So long my friend. RIP Rodney. My heartfelt condolences to the Atchinson family.
