I am so sorry to hear of Rod's passing, I supported him at IBM for several years. I have great memories of Rod, I know family was important to him and he had some of the best advice. Rod will truly be missed, may the best memories of him give you comfort during this time.
I know Rod from IBM. He was a kind and gentle soul with an easy laugh. Sorry for your family's loss. I didn't know his nickname was Rocky - it fits him well. May the joy of his spirit live forever. in the hearts of all.
