I am confident that Rod is having a CTP, laughing and sharing memories with his dear friend Ross! He will be greatly missed! Love to my Shearing family!
Rod was very proud of and dedicated to his family, all of whom brought him much happiness and kept him grounded. He was loved for his sense of humour, his kindness and generosity and the many things he did for his friends and community. He was a remarkable friend and we will miss him dearly.
Sheila Janice and Peter: My deepest condolences to you and your families.

Dear Sheila,
I was very saddened to learn of Rod’s passing. When I first interviewed for the position at St. James Westminster, I really felt that Rod took the biggest leap of faith in hiring me as my knowledge of the computer programs in place was nil. However, Rod was my strong support throughout my days there and always had a kind word and smile. He was a lovely man.
Sheila, Janice and Peter: My deepest condolences to you and your family. I will remember Rod’s cheerful smile fondly!
As Treasurer of Elmwood Lawn Bowling Club, please accept our condolences for the loss of Rod. A donation has been made on his behalf to our Memorial Fund.
Sincerely
Leigh
