Not sure what to say?

You will be missed Dr. Rodkey. You have been my Mom's dentist for years and my dentist since childhood. I could really use your gentle dental care right now. May you and your family find all the comfort and care you gave throughout the years returned many times over. Thank you for catering to us cowards and your sneaky jiggle technique that made me never notice those shots! RIP.

Danette,
My condolences to you and your family for the passing of your father. It has been many years since we were neighbors, but your father remained my dentist for over 50 years! He was not only a great dentist, but a great person...always so pleasant to visit with twice a year. He will be missed by so many. Please know my parents pass on their condolences as well.

Dr. John was a gentle man and always quick to smile and laugh. We will all miss this kind gentleman.

I am so sorry for the pain you feel from his loss. I will miss him, too. I wish I could fix this, but I can't. When God looked down on the earth, He chose the best thing He could find, and He picked John. I have such wonderful memories of being in his office through the years. He's hum as he walked down the halls. I think it soothed both patients and himself. He loved to hear jokes, and he laughed so easily. He truly became a friend to me over the many years he took care of me. May all of you...

Dianne, Sister Maria & Johanna-
I was so lucky to work along side Dr. Rodkey for the last 7 years. He was the best boss, and truly loved each patient and gave them such gentle care. Continued prayers to you all as you navigate new roads ahead. One thing is for sure, I will smile every time I see duct tape. Sending you all extra love!

Diana , I am so very sorry to hear of your loss of your beloved Buzzy.I am sending healing hugs ,love and prayers as you navigate through the most difficult time of your life although the girls may not remember me. I have great memories of them growing up. A former assistant.

Our family have been Dr. Rodkey's patients since 1967. He always provided excellent care, including routine visits, crowns, and braces. May his family find comfort in knowing his importance to so many of us over the years.

Dear Johanna and Family,

I will miss seeing your Dad's smiling face when I pulled up to the office at lunch time. I guess a dentist is supposed to have a good smile, and he did, always warm and welcoming. I am sure that was just the tip of the iceberg of blessing that he brought to your family's life, God Bless you guys during this time of loss.
