The American Queen
He had wanted to take a riverboat cruise for as long as Donna could remember, so they did!
A week after they returned, he died of a heart attack :(
It gives me some peace of mind that he was able to take that trip and that it was better than he could have imagined. He said it was the best vacation ever!
For those of you that didn't know Rod personally. He was a unique individual. You cannot judge a book by it's cover.. so true with my brother! He was a genius, a bookworm but not your typical geeky guy. He lived in cut off blue jeans on his days off, kicked back and relaxed with a beer in one hand a book in the other. It was nothing for him to read more than one book a day.
He loved Homer Simpson (probably because he was a Homer!)
He worked at a nuclear power plant and in his off time, he drank beer ;)
He loved the series All Creatures Great and Small, anything sci-fi and Jaws! He had to watch it anytime it was on tv. Actually he loved almost anything!
There could never be enough knowledge and Rod's outlook on life was that his cup was halfway full ALWAYS, he looked for the good in everyone, he was very observant and wise beyond his years.
What a great couple... Donna & Rod posing with metal bowls on their heads :)
.... okay..... I admit ~ he does look a bit geeky in this photo.. but who wouldn't with a bowl on their head?
ohhhhhhhhh my sweet brother ~ I miss you!
I treasure every single moment that you were in my life and you will never be forgotten.
