Missing Rod King. From a great basketball coach/player to a client from the insurance business. Always with a smile and helping good advice.
What a wonderful man. My sympathies to you all.
Bless his spirit as it has moved on from this planet. I think he and Don are probably skiing around up there. His dry sense of humor was such a joy. How I enjoyed sharing parts of life with he and Natalie.
Rod was a very old friend from the early 60’s. We played a lot of basketball in the GE gym. I’m so sorry to learn of his passing.

how does a friendship last 70 years ? By dealing with an open heart that brings laughter, kindness and blessings to friends that shared good times...We will all miss him. .
Rod was one of the first people I met in the advertising and communications community when I moved to Fort Wayne in 1984. While I have not seen him in years, I always remember him as a happy and friendly person, always quick to volunteer. A true gentleman.
I love you so much Rodney & I’m glad I got the chance to meet/take care of such a funny loving big hearted person like you’ll I will never forget anything you told me & as I am trying to hold everything together I am glad your at peace please watch over me & help me get through this difficult time .. I’ll be having a bowl of your favorite today just for you (Frosted Flakes) .. & to the family I love you all just as well & I am only a phone call away.
