A bench at the Moraga Commons was dedicated to the memory of prominent Moragan Eddie Roodveldt by his family and friends in early November. Funds for the bench and its maintenance had been donated by his friends and business acquaintances after his death from melanoma in February, 2008. Roodveldt and his wife, Lillian, had been Moraga residents since 1995 and were very active in both the Moraga and Lafayette Chamber of Commerce. He was a leader in establishing the Farmers Market in Moraga and a very active member of the Rotary Club of Moraga.
