I am so glad to have met you, Rodney. I can't stop thinking about you. I miss so much our chats, your advices, your way to see the live and solve problems. Even miles away, you would say the right word at the right moment. The last weeks were tough for you, I realized your voice was weak, even so, with immense empathy and patience you would attend to my calls. I miss and will miss you so much. You will remain in my memory as one of the most kind person that I have ever met. Rest in Peace. Geraldo, Brazil

It is a really really sad that we were informed that Rod has passed away. I myself talked with him on Skype in May this year before he was hospitalized but I had never doubted his condition would be so critical, having an usual animated conversation with a lot of jokes he loved. I thought to call him again in sometimes after believing he would safely come back from hospital. We met each other in Paris in March of 1988 at the very end of the queue to the exposition of Van Gogh at the Orsay Museum, and since then we regularly met each other either in UK or in Japan, sometimes in third country like France or USA. His 70th's birthday party in Bristol was my last occasion to see each other in real, but how could it be happen for me waiting his 80th (or we talked 75th if we could) birthday party... It was a great loss for me also for my wife Naomi who was also become his friend since 2000, and we extend our sincere condolences to Alison, Ben and Sarah. Motoki and Naomi KOSAKA, TOKYO JAPAN

Dearest Rod! You were the best friend, the best Samaritan and the best solicitor in the world. I will never forget the loving, caring and the forgiving person you were. I am glad I met you and was so lucky to have you as a friend. I will never forget how much help and support you gave me. I will never forget the joy you brought to lots of people. You will be always remembered as the loveliest bird in the world. I am missing you every day. Rest in Peace!

I am Rodney's younger cousin. He was just 6 months older than me. Our mothers, Chrys and Joyce, introduced us at quite an early age, but he was already a big boy, and somehow we didn't really hit it off. But eventually, the time came for Rodney to go to University in Liverpool and it was my parents' pleasure to accommodate him in Birkenhead in our attic bedroom for 3 years. A fair half-board rent was agreed, but Mother soon found she was out of pocket due to Rodney's unexpected appetite! Rodney would come home from university each day, describing with wonder his experiences across the Mersey, which seemed implausible, but we eventually realised that Rodney was one of those people to whom implausible things just happened. It was much later in life, when we had each made our separate careers, that our paths regularly crossed again at Rod's memorable decennial birthday parties. On one occasion, in deepest Somerset, the venue was decorated with the flags of the innumerable countries from which the guests came, reflecting Rod's amazing capacity to make friends all over the world. We learned from him and his beloved mother, Joyce, of his tireless work for the Samaritans, and his long hours as a duty solicitor, liable to be called out at all hours to assist those apprehended by the law, and we enjoyed visits to the arboretum with Rod and Joyce, with her artist's eye, together. Rod's was a selfless life, one that was so well lived, and which brought joy and humour to all who knew him. Our thoughts are with his remaining nearest and dearest.

It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Mr King. My contact with him was within the Criminal Justice System where he was regarded as a man of great principle. He was always polite and courteous in manner and did his very best for those he represented. Although I retired from the Bench some time ago, Mr King will remain in my memory as one of those advocates who will never be forgotten..

So very sorry to hear of Rodney's passing. I am a fellow Old Avonian and solicitor. Rodney was very well respected in the profession and ran a very successful practice. We will all miss Rodney's instant wit(I am sure he would have succeeded as a "stand up"comedian).When you met Rodney you always went away smiling and laughing.

It is with great sadness to learn of the passing of Rodney king. Rodney helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life in his role as my solicitor and for that I am and always will be truly greatful. He became a good friend and although our paths didn't cross for the past couple of years I've always remembered him for his larger than life personality and professionalism in the court room. He will be truly missed and never forgotten. R.I.P to a true gentleman! Steve R

I knew Rodney for well over 40 years - he was my solicitor, best man at my wedding to Philippa, Godfather to my daughter Susan, fellow Samaritan for ten years, fellow Camp Leader for several years on the Archbishop Vining Camps to the Isle of Wight and, most of all, a close and trusted friend who will be greatly missed by the many, many people whose lives he touched. My great sadness is that in recent years, we drifted apart as our lives went in different directions, meeting on the odd occasion and promising on each ocassion to meet up for a drink to catch up! My life has been all the better for knowing him. Rod always had time for those in need and was unstinting in the time and energy he was prepared to give to help others. It will be a lasting regret that my last contact with him was over a year ago and that I missed his 'time of need'. I am sure that at this time, there are hundreds of people remembering the 'giant of a man' they knew as RK and thanking him for what he did for them. He brought joy and laughter into the world and made it a better place. R.I.P. Rod- it was an honour and priviledge to have known you and to call you my friend. Peter Scantlebury + Philippa, Susan and Simon.
