May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Mary, Blair & Denise - my heartfelt condolences to you all. Rod was such a great guy. I loved visiting with him. His humor was awesome. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Sending you all some Kansas love.

My condolences to the family.

Great guy! Always had a smile on his face. The Icing Department used to love entertaining his son Tommy when they would visit. He had a way of making me feel welcome to the Palmer family.

Rod always supported RHS at the end of every school year by awarding a plaque to the Outstanding Golfer and I just wanted to let his family know how grateful we were for his support and how sorry I am on his passing.

Good times at the bass pond.

Uncle Rod was a terrific husband to Aunt Mary. My deepest condolences to Mary, Denise and the rest of the family. My favorite Rod story is when he won the Pa. high school championship by beating Arnold Palmer. I'll always remember the first time we met when he and Mary took my ex-wife Sandy and I to dinner at the Bistro Gardens in Beverly Hills, Ca. Rod loved their Dungeness crab. Many great picnics over the years at their bass pond will be greatly missed.

Dear Mary.... Very sorry to learn of Rod´s passing. You had a wonderful life together making memories for you to cherish especially through this difficult time. Rod was a great guy and accomplished so much in his lifetime. Sending to you my warmest sympathy...... Lynn L. Brumbach

Dear Blair and Denise, So sad to learn of Rod´s death and sending condolences to you and your extended family. He was such a lovely man. My husband, Bruce Eaken, who died in 2017, and Rod were related, cousins I believe. I remember fondly the few times we visited the Bernville Eaken´s on our way driving to Cleveland. Your dad was so hospitable to these relatives he´d never met before. He welcomed us instantly as extended family. I remember so fondly the meals we share together at the...
