Thoughts and Prayers with the Family through this difficult time.
Sending our heart felt sympathy to the Rodd family. We have good memories of being neighbors on Sunrise View Dr.. The mail man had a hard time delivering mail to the Rodd’s or the Rudd’s. Sending prayers of comfort and grace.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers & thoughts for your family.
Prayers and healing hugs to you all.
My deepest condolences.

I have fond memories of your father as his family physician. He was an intelligent, affable gentleman who lived his faith with service to his community. He touched the lives of many. I am grateful to have known him and saddened by his passing. I wish the family peace with your memories of him.
My Uncle A.K. was truly a kind, caring, thoughtful, and smart man that we loved so much. We will miss enjoying his sweet spirit in our family, but we rejoice that we know he is with our Lord.
Allan and Pam,
Extending my sympathies for the loss of your dad. May the love and memories you shared provide comfort in the days ahead.
To the family: We will always remember Al as a kind, quiet, friendly man who noticed people, loved his family, & walked in integrity. He will be missed.
I had the pleasure of working with Al at Wooster Brush for many years. He was a people person, and always made you feel like he cared about you and any issues that happened. He had a great sense of humor, quick smile, and vast intelligence-those virtues contributed to Al being the best leader the Company ever had. My sympathy to his family and hopes that their memories of him help them through their sadness.
To the Rodd family, I met Al and Charlotte while caring for a neighbor, always friendly, a very kind couple, prayers for all, my thoughts with all the families and friends left behind to mourn the loss of their loved one.
