A new favorite Roddy story

Roddy Vickers is a love, one of the kindest, most caring people in the world.  He oversaw the team of caregivers that looked after Jimmy's parents in their sunset years. His daughter Vicky was with my mother when she died - Vicky was brushing Mama's hair when Mama had a massive heart attack.

Roddy also has a great sense of humor.  He called Jimmy last week to wish him a happy birthday, and he and Jimmy were commiserating about their ailments.  Roddy told Jimmy he'd been to see his doctor recently, and the doctor looked at Roddy, then looked down at Roddy's chart, then looked back up at Roddy again and said, "Roddy, you look a whole lot better in person than you do on paper."

This is a very unflattering picture of Roddy, but it's all I could find on the internet.
