  8. Dear Laura,
    I know this message is very late, but I had wanted to send you a message of sympathy ever since I saw the obituary in the paper. I was so sorry to read about Roddy, I knew that he was ill, he had kept me informed about his progress while I was still working for Pueblo Job Service, but after I retired in August of 2000, I lost touch. I wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts. I met many people while working with Job Service and doing the TAA/Nafta training programs and some made a lasting impression, Roddy and you were two of them. May God continue to give you comfort and strength.
    Always, Shirley (Vogan) Tucker

  9. To my family out there we really need to keep in contact and not let the next time we interact be something like this. I miss you and love you all. Shawnarai

  10. My uncle Roddy was the best person in the world Their has never been a person like him and I dont know if their ever will be again. He was always positive and always smiling. I didn’t see him often but we kept in touch through email. I miss his joke and word of the day. I love you unle Roddy you showed me to always be a good person and love with my whole heart……….shawnarai
