Rod was one of my first customers at Carleton Technologies and Moog. He quickly became a mentor, always willing to share his vast knowledge of the industry and project management.



Everyone who ever worked with Rod knew that he was generous and extraordinarily capable.



I feel lucky to have called him my friend. My heart goes out to Kay.
