Add My Condolences

Rod was a great friend growing up. We spent a lot of nights fishing for eels at the mud hole or the bridge on Pidgeon Creek or fishing for trout at French Creek. We ran a trap line together for a few seasons too. He was a great guy. I moved away and only recently caught back up with him and it was like old times. RIP my friend until we see each other again.

The OJR Class of 1979 has lost another great classmate. Rodney had a great sneer to present before he went up to bat during Jr Legion baseball games. That look meant business, and he could deliver with the bat for sure. Rodney was certainly tough as a kid on the Red Knights youth football field. A good guy and a fierce competitor in whatever sport or activity he was involved with. RIP.
