Not sure what to say?

To the Family of John R. Roden: We are sorry to hear of your loss; how difficult it is to lose a family member, a friend or neighbor.

I did not know John personally but I'm thinking that my husband and I bought a used Kenmore wringer washer from John back in 1960 when we were first married. Remembered that tidbit upon hearing about John's passing. My mother, Vincent Roden's daugher, is Agnes Roden (Louis) Weese and made the contact. It worked great! I would be second cousin to...

Bernie and family, My sincere sympathy at this time. I remember you and John fondly from when I was a little girl. He will be missed by all of you. Our thoughts and prayers,
Bob and Maggie (Peters) Bowersox

Bernie, John Jr. and family, so sorry to hear about John, so soon after my Mom has gone. They are both in heaven I just know it, and they lived very long and wonderful lives. You are such a special person Bernie, I always enjoyed talking with you at the Christian Mother get togethers, my prayers are with you and John, Jr. and the rest of the family.

My sincerest condolences to Bernie and family. John will be missed by many. I enjoy the memories and times at family reunions.

We're so sorry to hear about John. He suffered so much. I am sure he has a high place in Heaven. He was so much fun to play cards with. The kids will always remember him as 'Grandpa John'. He will always hold a very special spot in our hearts.

Love, Dave and Michelle Steele and family
