I worked for Rodney’s doctor which is how I know him.  He was a wonderful person with a great sense of humor.  I was very sad to hear of his illness early on and he has been in my thoughts frequently these last several months.  We always joked about dieting and I think he still owes me a bottle of flavored water! 

Please accept my deepest sympathy to everyone in his family.  Rodney will be one of the patients that I miss the most.

My Prayers are you with Timmi at this time.  I’ll miss his smile & jokes from one Brooklyn-nite to another.  And I’ll celebrate his genuine spirit.
