Not sure what to say?

Some of my life's most cherished memories are the years I worked for Marion Rodgers at Hq ADC/Communications-Electronics. We were all fortunate to know him, Suzanne, and Denise - great people; great times! I hate being 81 now, but am glad I lived when the world was still sane. Rodge lives on in my memory.

Correction: I made a mistake in my recent post. It was Denise's wedding with her dog, not Suzanne! Sorry. Carol Todd

Rodge was always one of my favorite guys at NORAD, where I was a secretary for 37 years. He was always a smiling, happy gentleman whom everyone loved. I remember when Suzanne got married and her beloved dog was her attendant - my kind of person! In later years, I visited Rodge & Suzanne at the annual neighborhood garage sales. I still use their planter boxes I bought, thinking of them as my flowers bloom each spring. I missed Rodge's funeral service because I was in TX at the time, so...

So very sorry to hear about Rodge passing. I have very found memories of him coming into KKTV to do his Involvement Show. He truly was a warm, caring gentleman. I feel honored to say I knew him. You are now flying with the Angels

Mr. Rogers what a great man! You inspired me to better everyday. The love and care you showed everyone was incredible, especially your wife. we will meet again one day. You will be truly missed.

I went to wasson with his son Tom. we always
talked to rodge when we went to get Tom to go to the football games.

I knew Rodge and Suzanne years ago. What a distinguished and kind gentleman. They don't make them like Rodge any more. May God bless him and his family.

Rodge will be missed by the entire Wachtel family. I am glad my children, and grandchildren had the chance to meet and know him.

I am so sorry to hear about Rodge's passing. I was a secretary at NORAD/ADC for 37 years, and some of my best memories are of Rodge & Suzanne. We had many good days at work and social events. He was always a gentleman, full of life and fun. He loved animals too, even had his dog walk down the aisle at his daughter's wedding! In later years, I loved going to their house on "Garage Sale Weekend" - some of his and Suzanne's planter boxes are treasures every summer on my deck, full of flowers....
