My condolences to Mr. Rodd’s family and friends. I was friends with Forest from a very young age, and Mr. Rodd did me a huge favor when I was in sincere need of a job and trying to find direction in my life, hiring me at the Eagle River State Bank. He offered to help me learn all the aspects of banking, while I got my life together. While I ultimately chose to take a different direction in life, I’ve always appreciated his kindness. He was a very good man, and I had much respect for him. So sorry for your loss.
