Michael and Faith Jones - April 16, 2023

We were so sad to hear of Rod's death. Although we had not seen very much of him for the past few years there was a time when he regularly had dinner with us on New Year's Day. He was funny, irreverent and very proud of his Irish roots. Unconvenional and intelligent Rod was his own man. He was a sensitive doctor and cared well for his patients. We are glad to have known him. Safe journey, Rod.

Debbie Atanasoff - April 14, 2023

Lynda Ford - April 7, 2023

Lyn and Bill Ford send our condolences to Patricia, Colin, Alan and Rod’s extended family. I have many memories as Dr Beck’s secretary for 42 years until his retirement in 2016.

Brenda Bonner - April 7, 2023

I felt so fortunate that Dr. Beck was my role model and mentor since 1978, whether it was in the ICU, 1st North or (daily from 1999-2006 ) in the chemo clinic. He not only demanded but expected the highest standard of care humanly possible and I wouldn’t have wanted any less. He made me a better Nurse Practitioner. He was respected by the nurses, medical staff and loved by his patients (many of who were in the fight of their lives) ! We will never forget him. All who have met him have a memory to treasure. My condolences to his family and friends.

Sarah Cowin - April 7, 2023

I learned So much from this intelligent man. Dr. Beck helped me with my transition into working in the ICU. My condolences to his family and friends!

Tricia Bosnell - April 7, 2023

My condolences to all of Dr Becks family. My husband Dean and I enjoyed chatting with him at Hospital parties and get togethers. He was always a gentleman and had a great sense of humour.
