We were unaware of Rod's untimely passing until yesterday afternoon, and needless to say we were shocked and saddened. We were neighbors of the Grams in Chanhassen and they even hosted a going away party when we relocated to Oklahoma. We extend our sympathy and prayers to the entire Grams family. Rod was a great man and he will be sorely missed. His passing has left a hole in our hearts too. May God bless and comfort each of you.

I will always remember Rod for his humor and professionalism. Rod was the anchorman at WIFR in Rockford, IL in 1981 when I got my first professional job out of college. Rod, you made us all laugh every day and your advice to a young kid just getting started in the biz remains invaluable to me to this day. Godspeed.
