    Some of my best memories as a child were with this man. He was always Uncle Rodney to me and all the kids at Nana Mary's house. He was loved and will be missed by so many. Prayers and love to my Richardson family.

    Rodney will be forever missed. He was our dear friend for so many years. We will always treasure our memories of camping or just sitting in the yard having great conversations and laughter. He was a friend to all who knew him. RIP our friend. Kim and Rick Bevan.
