In 1975 Rod moved his family back to the farm at Rabbit Lake which is what he continued to do up to his sudden passing. He juggled the farming with driving school bus for over 30 years and every day had its memorable moments. Rod was very active in his surrounding community, always helping with any functions or sports. He has spent many years with the Carlton Trail Jamboree and Ski-Do Rally Organizations, and from a young age has been very active & competitive in sports - curling, volleyball, baseball, hockey, bunnock, to even family card games, more often than not coming home with a trophy or prize or $2 in quarters.
