I worked with Rod for many years in labour ward as an obstetrician. He has always been a kind, competent and supportive with an amazing sense of humour. He will be greatly missed. RIP my friend and sincere condolences to the family.

"Look at the stars - how they shine & glow, But some of those stars died a long time ago. Still they shine in the evening skies: Love, like starlight, never dies." From the book "No Matter What", by Debi Gliori. I read this to my son before bed tonight, and this paragraph just seemed perfect.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Rod. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
