I am just so sorry to hear this. He was just about to move in next door to me, and he was so excited to do so. I was really looking forward to being his neighbor. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

We are so sorry for the loss of a dear friend to our family and so many others. Our prayers go out each and everyone of you. Rod always had a smile, and enjoyed visiting. I can not remember a time that Sissy, Rod or Peggy ever failed to ask how our family was doing. God be with you.

So sorry to hear about the loss of a very special and kind person. It was through Century 21-Broadway Advantage that we became friends with Rod. He always brought a smile to your face when he walked in the office. Some days good, some days not, but by the end of the conversation we were all laughing. He will be missed greatly. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

So sorry for your loss. Rod was our neighbor and always had a smile and wave when I was in the yard, my husband Carl walked our dog and talked with Rod many times as Rod was doing landscaping. He was always kind and helpful to any who needed help and he will be missed.

Dear Family,
We would like to express our heartfelt sympathy for Rod’s passing. He will be greatly missed. We were unable to come to the family viewing or funeral because of illness and doctor’s appointment. However, our thoughts and prayers were with you, and still are. When we moved to West Plains from Kansas Rob was one of the first people we met at Kountry Korner. He made us feel welcome. He was helpful in many ways as well as friendly. Peace be with you. Sincerely, Tim & Carol
