Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

It has been over 30 years since I last saw Rod & since I moved to Florida after residency. We were residents together at WGH; Rod rotated thru neurosurgery while I was a resident. We got along well & really liked & appreciated & respected one another. He had a wonderful attitude and great sense of humor. He dealt with situations much better than most (including myself). Great orthopod too. I was shocked and very upset to learn of his passing, as was my wife, former WGH nurse. Altho it's been a long time, will always fondly remember Rod. Condolences to the family. - Posted by: Arnold Zeal (Friend) on: Mar 23, 2007
