It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

This is a sad day indeed. I have known Rod since 2003 and spoke several times on the telephone. I class him as a good friend, and he will be missed.
I know he had missed Shirley deeply since her passing. So at least they are now together in peace.
Thanks Rooster for letting us all know.

I'm saddened to hear this. At least his suffering wasn't too prolonged.
All the best, Rod, you'll be sorely missed...

I am sorry to learn of this. I haven't been around much but remember him fondly from the old board. May he and his beloved Shirley rest in peace.
If you can't be a wonderful example, be a horrifying reminder.
