  6. I worked with Rod for several years at G&O. We had a lot of good times working together and tipping back a few cold ones afterwards. Rodney was a 1 of a kind.
    RIP Rod

  14. I knew and I remember Rodney very well. He and his family used to live five houses down from my house. I grew up knowing his sister Joyce and she became my best friend. Rodney and I worked together at the Towne Theater in the sixties. He was a doorman and he took the tickets. I went to the lakes with his family. Rodney had a very loving family. He will surely be missed by his family, relatives and friends. “God and Jesus loving arms will always hold you close in Heaven.”. Peaceful memories of you and your family. Your friend Debbie Alm and the Alm family. Thoughts and Prayers to the Zander family.
