So sorry to hear of Rod’s passing. A vivid memory of mine is when Rod was maybe 2 months old, your mom Evelyn let me hold him. I was probably 4 years old……I still remember that to this day…..I’m 73….Sincere sympathy to Rod’s daughters and families. Our parents were such good friends and Blessings to your whole family Linda…………Cheryl Sharp Hartl
Very sorry to hear of Rodney’s passing. He noticed me this summer at Deaners Diner and came over to sit with me for lunch. It was so nice to see him and to catch up on life and people. He was always good to talk to! I didn’t know he was sick.. so was very sad to see this. God bless Rodney’s family.
I’m sorry to hear of Rodney’s passing. It was just this past May that Rodney, my brother Dale and I went and put flowers on our parents graves. Rodney, Dale and I all attended Dakota Business College in Fargo. Dale and I were also in a wedding of his so we had a lot of interesting times together. I didn’t get to see Rodney as often as my brother, but Dale would let me know how Rodney was doing. He will be missed by a lot of people. He always had an interesting laugh that I will miss.
My heartfelt condolences sent to you all! What a guy! Unforgettable and such a charmer! Was an honor to know him and also you, Julie and Linda- thinking of you!!
I am so saddened to hear of Rod’s passing. My heart is with his family. He had so many wonderful qualities, none that was more prevalent than the gift of gab. I will always cherish the many long conversations, a shared love of his family, music and nature. We will celebrate his life and his Soul and take comfort in knowing that he touched so many lives.
Linda & Rod’s daughters,
So sorry to hear about Rodney,
Our Prayers are with all your families.🙏🙏🙏

Sorry to hear about the passing of a classmate. We were reaquainted after a fifty year class reunion. May God comfort you as you morn the loss of a father, brother, grandfather, and friend.
My deepest sympathy to Rodney’s family. I was deeply saddened by the passing of Rodney. The two years I knew him before we graduated from high school together in 1969 were very memorable. We tried to stay out of trouble but the more we tried the more trouble we got into. The senior trip we took to the Black Hills with Rodney chauffeuring Bob, Peggy, and me was something to always treasure and remember. Linda, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time of your loss. Linda (Grieger) Randell
Sarah, Julie, Lexi,McKenna
