OMG, Rose, I am so sorry. I was just told about Rod's death, yesterday, (June 12, 2016) and I am still in shock. Although my e-mail shows "UK ", I am still in Winnipeg. I weep for you, kiddo! x - Posted by: Brian Johnstone ( Beejay ) (Friend and colleague) on: Jun 13, 2016

My deepest condolences to you Rose and family. Although I only had the pleasure of Rods company a few times at cribbage on Thursday evening I will forever miss his good nature. Rest in peace my friend. - Posted by: Darrell Nazar (Friend) on: Feb 25, 2016

Our thoughts are with the family at this sad time. There are lots of great memories of Rod at the Flyer games and in the dressing room and parking lot after. Rod will be greatly missed. We think of his smile and will miss his laughter. - Posted by: Shane and Rhonda leTissier (Friends) on: Feb 23, 2016

My deepest sympathy to you Rose and family. Even though I haven't seen Rod in over 20 years, I still remember having "a few beers" with him and the Air Canada crowd at the Legion. I will always remember his humour and especially his smile. - Posted by: Denis LeGros (Friend) on: Feb 21, 2016
