Dear nieghbor and friend - Rodney, you will never been forgotten.
My husband and I have visited your remembrance at BYU in the "Y" center many times and I always think of you as I walk by that special room on the main floor on the way to the ballrooms. We give gratitude to all who have served in our military. I am grateful for my husband's 20 years of service and my father who served in WWII. Til we meet again - with love to you and all your family, Rexene June Catmull Robbins
I went through El-Hi with Rodney. He was always very quiet and shy and friendly. When I was in the US Army stationed at Ft. Ord, I met 2 guys (from LA and Chicago) just back from Vietnam who knew Rodney. Small world. They said he packed an M-60 machinegun and was a real warrior. He was killed shortly before he was to ETS back to the states. Rest in peace, Bro!!
Rodney and I were in the same grade at Clearfield. His Mom and mine were friends from church. I would not have met hin while we were in because I was USMC and he was Army. It is a great loss when a soldier dies in action. Wish we haad gotten better acquainted. He was very shy, and Just tended to business. RIP Rod
