Joanie,
So sorry to hear of Rodger’s passing. He was a unique character. I always enjoyed talking to him through the years when I took Grant and Tyler for their haircuts. If fact I think Grant would drive home from Columbus just to get a haircut from Rodger. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. With deepest sympathy. RIP, Rodger.

Mrs. Brown,
I am so sorry for your loss. Her husband is someone I very much enjoyed seeing over the years at the kids birthday parties. He always made me laugh with his unique wit. He will be missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
