The measure of a man is not how he died, but how well he lived. Rod's life left an immeasurable impact on all who were fortune enough to know him. He will be dearly missed 💔.
Roderick Conte... Your friendship. Your light. Your smile. Your jokes. Your wisdom. Your hospitality. Your inclusiveness. Your passion for pop culture. Your partnership with another incredible human being, Eric Blais. All of it; a blessing, an inspiration. You made us all happier when your were around. You made us all better. Never goodbye. You are missed. But you are remembered with love and joy. Save us some space on the divine dance floor. Until we meet again, my friend.♥️
My deepest condolences Eric, on your loss. My heart goes out to you and both your familys at this sad time :(
Wishing you peace to bring you comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart.

Rod, or as I always referred to you as my honey Conte, you were an inspiration to us all. A light like yours will never burn out but will continue to shine through all that you have touched. For me, you saw yourself in my son and there most certainly is the bond between you that he will carry always. My daughter loved you beyond words and well me, you knew that you were an extension of our family. For me, our love and friendship was immediate. We shared many laughs and many tears together. You will forever be in our hearts and we know that you will be watching over us. May you Rest In Peace with your parents and the cast of The Golden Girls 🤗
Dear Eric , Aaron and to all of Rod's loved ones - family, friends and colleagues
Please accept my condolences at this incredible loss. Rod's love for life and his love for those he served in his chosen life- the students, families and colleagues - was evident in everything he did.
An incredible teacher to all - respected by all - he will be missed so much.
I have many wonderful memories of the time working together - an honour to have done so.
May you be comforted by your cherished memories and may those memories bring a smile to your heart.
With respect Sharon List
