Bill Rood was one outstanding man. Bill, Kyle, and Kate became part of our family over 6 years ago. We were very lucky to have such a great person in our family. Bill, thanks for being loving to my sister Terri. I hated seeing you go through these last couple of months. But now you are finally resting in peace! Love you Bill Rood!
I am so very sorry for your great loss. He is flying high with the Angels. He will live on in in your hearts and memories until you are all reunited in heaven.
It will never be the same down here without you my friend. I will always miss you.
Bill was a lovable smart#*!. He could joke with the best of them. He was the good start to everyone’s day at DTA. He always had a smiley greeting and even a hug as you walked in the door to work. If you were “meh” about your day, he brought you up!
He was smart and just a nice guy. My husband and I are glad to have known him. Always think of him when I walk into work.
Hope he finds my dad and the two of them can laugh and sarcastic battle together .
