Rod was one of lifes gentlemen...I never heard him raise his voice or put anybody down. My thoughts are with his family at this time. A great loss to all who knew him. Posted By Gary Cootes

I will always have fond memories of Rod. When we served in Gibraltar he asked me to be his best man at his Wedding, it was an Honour to be asked .

We used to laugh and joke about silly things( Army Humour) Civilians would not understand.

I would like to send my sincere heartfelt condolences to Chris his widow, also his Daughter Lucy and Son Mark.

He will always be in my thoughts.

Rest in Peace

What a terrible shock to read the passing of Rod, so very sad. I know we say that about all our Muckers who go the FRV but Rod was just a seriously nice guy. Cor blimey he is going to be a big loss to his family but also to the Regimental Family Ranks. I came from the 1st Bn in '82 and Rod said straight away welcome we are all 'Green Jackets' here, have a beer. Although we were never close Muckers but he is remembered by me as a truly thoroughly decent and nice guy. God Bless Rod, pass on my best wishes to all in the FRV. Sincere condolences to his wife and family.

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Rod. Rod and I where in Junior Soldiers together in the early sixties. Many a good time during hose days. I went to 1 RGJH and Rd to 2 RGJ. We saw each other on numerous times since then.

A very lovely man, my condolences to all his friends and family. Unfortunatly I am unable to attend the funeral but I guarantee I will raise a glass of port to you at the aprpriate time MUCKER.

Very late in my condonlensis but knew Rod and count myself one of the lucky ones, a proper Rifleman who we all knew and loved. Godbless Rod and see you in the RGJ FRV we will all be there.
