I would like to say that he was very fondly remembered by his late sister, Jo Ann Roddin (nee Genau). I have heard many stories about my late uncle, and how close the two of them were with one another. He held a piece of her heart up until her untimely passing in 1992.

From his niece,
Susan Jones (nee Roddin)
