James William Rhodes, Jr.

Very sad to hear a great friend and brother had passed away. Looking on the Internet to find long lost friends and brothers, only to find two them gone today. We served together in the Marines and we great friends. Wished I could have found him a long time ago. I think of you all the time, especially when having teriyaki chicken. I tell everyone you had the best recipe and I lost it. Love you Brother, Semper Fi, see you in heaven!

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

You enter the gates of Valhalla, sitting next to our Brothers and Sisters at the table of Odin. The spirit that became a Warrior, was known as Cousin Jim. One day we will feast together again.

I'll never forget when, a few years back, you called me on New Years Eve. You asked what I was up to and I laughed as I explained that I was at a club you wouldn't have expected, and you figured it out quickly. I'll cherish that hilarious story until time ends. Rest Easy Marine!!

I knew Jim from Benzie as a classmate of 78 always seemed to have a smile for anyone he would meet. He had mentioned about going in the Marines; but unfortunately I didn't know if he had did it or not until now. I know you can be proud of his service to our country and our community, The Old Engine Show is not the same with out him.

Such a nice man. He will be greatly missed by all of his co-workers at Cone Drive.

Always and forever, Jimmy was always there for a hand or a listening ear. Several conversations that always ENDED UP WITH LOTS OF LAUGHTER. I will miss our talks. Prayers and hugs to all. This man will be truly missed.
