With Deepest Sympathy! I didn’t get to know Rod or Norma long but I enjoyed visiting with them a couple of times. I was Normas hospice volunteer for a short time. Rest in peace, Rod. Prayers for all of you! ❤

Your Dad was the sweetest man! Always had a smile on his face. 🙂
We’ll miss seeing him come in for his taco salad for pick up at Pizza Corral.
Thoughts and prayers to your family during this time.

So sorry to hear of Rod’s passing. I work at Gundersen and for years both he & Norma would come in and tell me about their cruises. Even brought in photos to show me. They were both very nice people. Thoughts & prayers to the family.
Sorry for your loss. I worked at Trane Co. at plant 6 for many years. I started in May 1969. They never had a more dedicated and conscientious worker than Rod. Always gave it his all each and every day. I think he machined over a million connecting rods over the years. He was all around nice guy and a pleasure to work with. I’m sure he will be greatly missed!
