Peter Rodda, 1944-1961
Peter Rodda died in the Bulawayo General Hospital from injuries received in a tragic accident in March, 1961.
He came to Falcon in 1958 and entered Oates House, of which he was an extremely popular member. He had the kind of cheerful disposition that is infectious, and a friendliness which was not confined to just a few of his own age or to the members of his own House.
He had as many interests as he had friends, and a zest for doing things and making things that always made him a lively companion and an interested observer of the world around him.
His tragic death has been felt by many as a personal loss, some indication of which was the large gathering of Falcon parents and friends at his interment in Salisbury.
All those who knew Peter will join in offering our deepest sympathy to his parents on the loss of a fine young man and a devoted son.
