Rodney may no longer be here with us in flesh but his memories will be with us forever. Some of my earliest memories in life included Rodney, like when he had the dune buggy and he and my dad would go out riding in the neighborhood (I seem to recall them flipping it over maybe?). Looking at the pics today with the Slingshot, it seems like he never lost his passion for cool wheels! I also remember later in life when Rodney owned a very successful clothing business and we got to see his facility over in Addison somewhere... and as a 12 year old, just being in awe of his Porsche 911 sitting in his shop! Good times, good memories! Rodney, you were like an uncle to us during those early days! You will be missed...
Rodney was always a consistent visitor at my house. When I married his best friend, I remember he always paid us a visit a dinner time every night.
That boy loved to eat. When he lived next door to us in Garland, he and his friend Mike (my husband) were always together working on something. He was also married to my best friend LInda. RIP Rod.
Sharing photos of my dad. He loved riding his motorcycles and driving around in his slingshot.
