I found out about Rodney's diagnosis around the time he did. Knowing that I visited him every time I was in town to see my mom, about once a month. Jim Kornegay, Greg Hyslop and I visited together with him many times. We brought our guitars and played old Beatles tunes for him. Rodney had a great attitude and knew God had other plans for him. His wife Sue is an Angel and performed like one. Really missing my ole buddy but the Master had other work for him. He is probably being fitted with his wings to look after the rest of us.
