Paul Smith wrote a sympathy message

“Deepest sympathies to the family. Ray Hughes, my brother Mark Smith and I went salmon fishing with Rod in August and had a blast. Rod got to catch a few big ones and he really enjoyed the second day on the lake. He was really proud of kids and grand kids. Gonna miss talking to you Rod! Rest in peace!”
