I found another great picture of Rodney from the mid '70's from the Ghent Powerhouse. Note the weight of that steel at the top of the building- 56 tons.

Great friend, pipefitter, welder, role model for apprentices, and always fun to be around. Rodney and his good friend Ken Brinkman got their work done fast and right while keeping everyone on the job entertained. Never a dull moment working with them. I had the pleasure to work with Rodney for many years and learned something from him everyday. He will be missed greatly . Rodney and his family will be in Diane and my prayers. Picture is from the Ghent Power-house in the mid 70's. Rodney at bottom, Phil Schmidt top, Jack in middle Jack Bresser
