As time has passed, and our parents have left the earth, we are all blessed with what they left behind. From Judie to Al, from Ginny to Dawn and now to Rod. They gave us years and years of Love, laughter, friendship and a bond that has no limits. From our first bus ride to church, in the presence of Rod and Eli, to hide and seek, to cabin weekends to every Sunday dinner.
I will hold dear to my heart.

Rod was such a compassionate and giving person who would help any in need. We were so fortunate to have met the Crockers and have so many fond memories of special moments with them. I always enjoyed Rod’s company, his amiable personality and devotion to his family. I truly admired him. Thinking of you Caleb, Hannah, Kelly and family

I will miss Rod dearly. I have a fond memory of Rod. Shortly after I became a Christian and in the early years of CLA, we were paired up to go door-to-door in the neighbourhood around the church. We would walk and talk and I'd listen to him as he gently shared with the residents. On our walk I recall him telling me the importance of memorizing Scripture. I have always appreciated his love of the Lord, his love of people, his wisdom, and compassion for the homeles...
