I express my most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Roderick Glenn Locklear. May God give you comfort and peace to help ease the pain of your loss.
Sincerely,
Condolences to you all on the loss of Mr. Rod. He was a giant among men. From assisting in the founding of Lumbee Regional Development Association (LRDA), to helping up and coming Natives connect to find their way around federal Indian programs, to working with the Lumbee tribe on its recognition efforts, Mr. Rod had a hand in wherever he could be of assistance. He will be greatly missed.
Respectfully,
Earl
