“Sorry to hear of Rod s passing. He lived a long productive life. My parents and Rod and Irene were long time friends. Rod was my best adviser when I started farming. I started farming when chemicals were being used to control weeds. Every new chemical had its own formula. Rod new them all and how to mix them. I always enjoyed Rod. I missed visiting him these past months. Paul Lubbers”
