I don't recall ever meeting Rodney, but I was in college with his daughter, Chris, who was a wonderful daughter and someone any father would have been proud of. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My sincere condolences to you and your family. Not only was Rod our Class of 57 advisor but he and I were in the wedding of Mary Lou Gleba and Frank Beaton.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to connect with him when we had the'57 Alumni gathering.
He'll be in my prayers.

I am so sorry for our loss and my prayers are with Marilyn daily. I loved Rodney and last night while praying I could visualize him in heaven, doing carpentry work with a whole hand smiling and eating real chocolate.
