I had the pleasure of working with Rod last year in the lawn care business. He was a great guy to work with, always very hard working and fun to be around. I used to give him a hard time, telling him that I did not believe he was a farmer because he did not eat breakfast(2 honeybuns does not count as breakfast), and did not drink coffee. He talked a lot about his family, and his fiancee Renee and her family. I know he loved you all deeply, and you were always in his thoughts. he made it a point to tell loved ones at the end of a phone conversation I love you. Our last conversation was a couple of weeks ago, and we were going to try to get together soon for lunch. I sure wish we had made the lunch happen sooner rather than later. I am so very sorry for your loss, and hope the good Lord can help your families through this difficult time. Posted by Tom Heiling - Olathe, KS - Friend June 08, 2012
