Cathy, Gary and family.

My sincere condolences to you at this difficult time. Your Dad was a wonderful, quiet man who I respected greatly. I can still see him leaning on your front fence or washing and waxing his Ford Fairlane, in the driveway. Mr. Rodway always took time to chat with me, whether in the garden or while sitting in the kitchen of your home on Malta Street. . I am sharing in your sorrow and I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Kathy and the Rodway family. So sorry to hear of your father’s passing. My condolences to you and your family.

Kathy, Gary and Family…
So very sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. He was indeed a kind and patient man. One of the very few times I saw him get a little upset, he was trying to convince your mom , it wasn’t a good evening to go fishing. My family and I have a lot of wonderful and fond memories of your dad.. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time. .❤️
Maude, Sherry , Joanne and Carla…

In heartfelt sympathy and prayer to Kathy, Gary, Rodway family, extended family and friends. It’s hardest to say goodbye to those we love and who matter the most. Grieve but for a while then smile because he lived and carry on. Celebrate your Father’s life. He lived a long and rewarding life. May you take comfort in your cherished memories and keep his memory alive in your hearts. He will always be a part of you.
“A Father is neither an anchor to hold us back nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.” (Author Unknown)
May his bright light continue to shine. He earned his wings and a peaceful rest. May his gentle soul rest in peace. God Bless!

Cathy,
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. I do remember him as a kind and gentle man. Your parents were such good friends to my Mom. They would go out for a shared birthday dinner with my Mom, the end of September. Try to keep happy memories close to your heart in the coming days.

To Kathy, Gary, All Family & Friends. My sincere Condolences to you on the passing of your Dad. I remember him very well many years ago when i delivered papers on my route in Rabbit Town.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember him being a very gentle soul. I can still see him leaning on the fence on Malta St. As myself and Kathy would try to get a quarter by telling him I had a quarter but I probably only had 15 cents, I think he saw through us but he just smiled and laughed at us. Prayers and thoughts are with you all. You’ll sure miss him but heaven sure is sweeter with him there💔
