IN MEMORY
Remembering Rodney Waldeck
We are broken-hearted to share the sad news that our beloved Rodney died on Sunday 20 October 2024. Rodney was the Chair and founder of Topsy UK and a Board member of Topsy Foundation South Africa.
It is hard to find words that adequately describe Rodney's extraordinary contributions to, and love of Topsy and of humanity. He was an inspirational leader who led with generosity, kindness and a deep commitment to equality, social justice and education. Rodney dedicated his life to furthering these values and had the gift to inspire all those he touched to do similarly.
He was so much more than a colleague. He was our dearest friend, always striving to help others, even during the final stages of his illness. Rodney was the driving force behind Topsy UK. The gap he leaves is enormous, but the memory of his spirit and love will remain with us all forever. His impact reaches far and will continue through the work of Topsy.
“
Although his physical presence is here no longer, he continues to live within us all and in those who Topsy touches.
