I was so saddened to see of Rod's passing. I lived behind Rod and Larry on Franklin St. in Garrett during Jr. Hi. We had so much fun together and like so many of us we went our separate ways after high school. I hadn't seen Rod since then but thought of those days often. It is obvious he was surrounded by a loving family and friends. Please accept my condolences. Tim Kolbe
