I wil always remember you Uncle Rod with the fondest of memories. With your and granddads passion for boat building and watching the building of your yacht come to life. We had fun times going for trips in the yacht and being tied by rope while we swam to make sure we didn't float away. And, having dinner at your place and the quizz questions you gave us. We were only able to have dessert if we got them right, funny . Love always, and love to all the family xx

Karen Payne
