Diana it was wonderful to celebrate and remember the way you and Rod touched our lives.
Rod gave Mike his first manager’s position and was a friend and mentor for many years – which allowed us to begin our relationship with you and your family.
Rod’s demeanor and humor will be missed but never forgotten.
We are all blessed to have known Rod and having you in our life.
Mike and Karen Green

Rod and Diane have been our next door neighbors for almost 14 years. We could not ask for better people to live next to. It has always been a treat at holiday time to hear Rod and Diane's children and and grandchildren playing outside with laughter and joy1
One funny note is that I have always enjoyed seeing him on his roof with the leaf blower. This took a high level of acrobatics on his part at times!
We will dearly miss this fine husband, father and friend.

I'd known Rod for a long time but unfortunately didn't see him very much. I knew in my heart that Rod would be a great friend. I greatly regret not following my instincts. A good man. God Bless the Williams Family.

Rod's smile was always like a warm handshake, and he embodied the solid, down-to-earth virtues that are so admirable and basic to our community: success in his work, a dedicated husband, and a good citizen. But he leaves, perhaps, his own best memorial in his sons, who provide solid evidence of their fine upbringing and nurturing home and reflect thereby the role model Rod was for them--and us.
