Aircooled6racer Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hello: Rod was a great guy on and off the range. Always smiling and having fun. He would help you out and ask nothing in return. The shooting community lost one of the old guards of 3-gun. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Just now saw this. Very sad news indeed. Rod and his wife Cheryl are in that select group of people - the finest on the planet. I first met Rod and Cheryl at a match in AZ in the early 80's. They invited me to an upcoming match in NM. I was dirt poor in those days, and said I could not afford even the cheapest hotel room. No problem, even though I had just met them, they invited me to stay with them at their house. So me and my late friend, Jerry Bock (who wasn't a competition shooter), went to NM, shot the match and stayed with Rod and Cheryl. It was a fantastic time and trip all around. Thank you.

LOL!! He was a very cool dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
