I first met Rod when I had my daughter Sophie his son Liam was born around the same time. I became friends with him and his partner at the time Janet. Later on he became my hairdresser and cut my hair for over 30 years. A brilliant person a fantastic hairdresser. He will be sadly missed. Xx

Rod, I remember meeting you at an athletics meeting all those years ago, you became a family man young and your love for your children shone through, always talking about your girls and Liam as you cut my hair. So much energy and passion, you will be remembered as a great athlete, a runner, a cyclist, a sailor, a dad and grandad, a shrewd business man with a property empire and the only man I knew with a great passion for hostas! Such a kind and generous man who will be missed by so many. x Lynne
