I send my deepest condolences to you at your time of loss. I just met Mr. Rhodes this summer before his daughters wedding. I remember how excited he was and all he could talk about was his baby girl getting married! :-) I was able to talk to him a few weeks ago and he was still his fun loving self. I will miss seeing him at my office.

To the Family of Fred Rhodes:
I met Fred at the Oglebay Facility Management School and still remember him barbequing in the back parking lot.

Even though he appeared intimidating once you met him, he was a just a big teddy bear. I will miss him and hope that you all will be comforted by the great...

I always will have fond memories of Freddie....beginning with our acquaintances on Sixth Street....he was lots of fun...and he didn't play.
I recall a conversation we had at the Service Station about employment opportunity for my son's. He was very cordial and encouraging about assisting my sons with employment. Although we had not seen one another in over 30 years-our friendship had prevail.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the Rhodes Family. I had the pleasure of meeting Fred several years ago at a IAAM Conference and we've been friends every since. I feel truly blessed that Fred and I had the opportunity to cross each other's path. He will be truly missed, but fondly remembered.
