Roddie was my only brother and he was my best friend. Even though there were 6 years difference in our ages, he always had time for me. He taught me to dance and to appreciate cars. He loved animals and was a good friend to everyone who knew him. If Roddie didn't have a Friday or Saturday night date (which was rare) he didn't mind taking his little sister out for burgers, a movie, or to play pin ball. Sometimes we would just go for a ride in his car. There is a void in my life since he has been gone. He was awarded a Silver Star for actions on Feb. 22, 1969. He was in the 4/3 Delta company Americal division.

From his sister,
