One thing that stood out when I was looking at his profile, most of his recent post were welcoming people. That says something profound to me. What a loss to our community here. RIP.

Yeah that's him. Plus he would do some miles to come to events to welcome and meet people.

I actually didn't know he helped with the serious stuff on the forum.

Never met him, but exchanged a few IMs with him, and was aware of the work he did on the forum. Seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

This is the second text I sent to Mike, so he would know how we felt about Rod.

“There have been many great posts about your dad. Everybody liked him. He will be missed on the forum and by all that met and talked to him. “


This is where Rod will rest, it's a beautiful place. I attended a marine buddies funeral there last winter.

Rest in Peace brother Rod. :bow:

Sad to hear. Going to miss his presence.
Thanks to all who worked at this and the stories you rarely get a chance to hear.

I don’t believe that I had the pleasure to meet or interact with Rod much over the years. But I can affirm the dedication that he put into supporting this forum. Rod was always quietly working diligently on the forum, behind the scenes, for many years, even back when I was a mod. He was the one who inspired me to always greet as many new members as possible. It means a lot to new members. He really cared. Rod will always be here, continuing his quiet dedication to this forum. His legacy will carry on forever in the hearts and minds of us who were lucky enough to know him. God bless you Rod. Thank you for your service to this country, your family and this little forum. We are all better because of you. Anchors Away sailor.

First man I met from the site other than the boys from East County Guns. What a generous and pleasant man. Barely knew him but miss him a lot.

I didn't get to really know him, other than enjoying his posts here.

However I gotta admit...... I feel honored to be associated with a bunch of guys that gave a shit, and sent out guys to check up on a person. This kinda chokes me up.

Dusting coots with the lord now.

Sucks to loose a member so involved. Wish I'd have had the chance to meet him.
