Robert Rood

you were nice

Dr. Rood was my diabetes doctor back in the 80's and 90's. He was wonderful and the doctor I compare every other endocrinologist to. He will be missed. Such a good man and great healer.

Thanks for all the memories!

Phyllis, I was both shocked and saddened to see Robert's obituary online just today. I remember him from St. Jos. in A2 then again we all met again in GR. Robert was a wonderful human being--kind, devoted to his patients, and always smiling, and how he loved his family. I send heartfelt condolences to you and your family. What a tremendous loss. Wishing you peace, comfort and healing.

Just read of Bob's passing in the MSU alumni magazine. Bob lived next door to me in Bailey Hall 1968-1970. He was very diligent in his studies. I was pleased to read of his distinguished career. Peace be with the family.

We loved your husband. DR Rood saved my husband life.He had a lung aneurysm and would have died without Dr Rood skillful care. We where sitting here thinking about all the Drs we have had and Dr Rood was the best. We didn't know of his passing.The picture you shared is great.He always had a smile. We will say a prayer for you this holiday season. Trudy Royce Lang

My heart breaks! Dr. Rood was more than a doctor to my younger sister and I from the time we were in our teens, both being diabetic, he gave us the best care we would have ever received, even till this day. I will be 49 this year, we always called him father Rood. I had my one and only child at age 31, I also had Hyperemisis grevaderia, so along with the diabetes it made for a very high risk situation. Dr. Rood would come into my hospital room to check on me, cuz he cared, and sat on my bed...

Phyllis and family - I just heard about Dr Rood´s passing from Debbie Ruster. I was so saddened!! He fought his disease valiantly!! I don´t believe I ever heard anyone ever say an unkind word, about him. He was a great leader, in his field! He will be missed by many!! Please accept my most sincere condolences. I believe that we were at MSU, at the same time. Lets hope our team can pull off the big game of the season, in his memory.

I have been a type 1 diabetic since 1960, and 1st had Keats Vining as my 1st doctor, and at some time, Dr. Rood and Dr. Vining had an office together as I recall. Dr. Rood was a great doctor to have, and a really neat person to know and have as a doctor. One time he told me to walk a straight line, and he said I would be going to jail if I was pulled over. Great person - will miss him for sure. Rest in peace.
