I knew Rod from many activities at St. Augustine church and school while our children were students. Rod was always wiling to help and bring joy to everyone around him. he was especially involved with our boy scouts.
His life included his deep faith which showed in every thing he did. Ed Hartmann

I opened the Gazette to look over election results and gasped to see Ron had died. I enjoyed being a guest at several of his company parties (early '80s?) and lived in the Vine neighborhood where I walked by the office every day. I remember him as a person who loved life and a good joke. My condolences to his family!

Dear Uncle Rod, I cherish all the great memories I have of youat the lake, at grandma Murrays, everywhere. You always showed interest in my life, you always provided the best hospitality to everyone. Your example of kindness, generosity and fun are your legacy. What a great man, great dad and great human you have been. You are surrounded by so much love! RIP.
