"Mr. Roddie was a treasure to know and a beautiful spirit to be around. I worked with him at Trio and he was always positive and supportive especially during the height of covid, he brought smiles and positivity and no words could express how far that went. All the love and support being sent to your family right now. -Gledis Bitraj "
