Jackie we’re very sorry for your loss. Rod was a great friend and colleague. I will always remember the talks I had with Rod about hunting, guns, camping and RC model airplane. He made me feel really welcome when I first arrived in Cozad. He was dedicated and knowledgeable about the Monroe plant. He will be missed. Know you’re in our prayers. I considered Rod as a good friend and I will miss him
