Dear Family of Rod,

The Class of 62 from Preston High School are very saddened by the death of our classmate Rod. We express our condolences to his wife, children, and family.

We are anxious to create a display at our class reunion next summer of the life and accomplishments of Rod so that all our classmates can pause and remember him and the great guy he was.

If there is someone in the family who could help us--we'd surely appreciate it. I'm guessing that Alona is his sister? She was in the grade just below ours. I'd love to hear from her or anyone else with knowledge of his life.

Again, we are so very sorry for your loss.

Sincerely yours,

Carolyn Hart Bennett
Rexburg, Idaho

My heart was sadden when I read of Rodney's untimely demise while yet so young in years. I knew Rod from the Eagles Club. He was an excellant carpet layer, and he loved the dart game.
May God be with his family and loved ones during this sad time.
