    So sorry to read this

    From some of Rods posts about his thoughts on if he was going to continue to fight his condition I gathered things were not well (to say the least)

    I never met him but enjoyed his posts and his outlook on life. Another one of the well loved members of the BBS has gone and will be missed without a doubt.

    RIP

    R.I.P mate,

    his posts over time showed him to be one of the very few real true selfless gents even in the face of the big C.

    Didnt know him personally, apart from him being one of the bbs `characters`.Just done a search through past posts of his, and a more humble, grass roots shooter, you couldnt hope to meet.Off the cuff comments about himself and what were really very serious problems brought a tear to the eye.A propper `wild thing`.

    Rest in peace buddy.

    Andy.

    as said many times before on this sad thread . .

    never met rod but i feel he was a good friend to many on here that had never met him either . he fought with dignity ,he fought with pride . many would have given up long before the disease won.

    he was a braver man than i could ever be

    I met Rod a few years ago at a Canterbury airgun club, only spoke to him for a couple of minutes, but even in that short time he came across as a gentleman of character. The fortitude he displayed on here did him great credit.

    I didn't know him personally, but in my short time here I did chat with him on a number of occasions on the BBS. He was an inspirationally tought character and a gentleman to boot.

    My heartfelt condolences go out to his friends and family.

    Indeed.

    There's never anything much worth saying at times like this, so I won't bother trying.

    Rest in peace, Rodders.
