Dear Joann,

I have fond memories of a vacation That my husband Doug and I spent in Myrtle Beach with  the Bethany golfing gang and wives.  Doug really enjoyed playing golf with Rod.  I appreciated all of the wonderful gifts you both shared with the Bethany Congregation.

Peace, Betty Spear

I was one of Mr. Hoover's students at Sudbrook JHS and Milford Mill in the early 60's. He was an excellent teacher and our class(es) benefitted from his effort. My condolences to his family.

Dear Joann and Family,

We were shocked and saddened to learn of Rodney's death.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We will miss Rodney.  He was such a good neighbor, a valued professional colleague, and a good Christian who had such a positive outlook. Interaction with him was always pleasant, informative and usually with a touch of humor.

May God's peace be with you at a time of loss and sorrow.

Niel and Helen
