  3. No words can describe or tell what a wonderful person and friend Rodney was!
    I’ve know Rodney and his family for over 15 years with pleasure of working with him at Exactech and being my close friend.
    He will be missed very much so.
    He is with our Lord and Savior now until we see him again!
