Rest in peace Uncle Rod, I will certainly miss you and our conversations....Love always James (Jimmy) H. Ford Jr. And family

I was so sorry to hear of Rod's passing. I believe I was one of his last weddings if not the very last in 1987! He was such a talented photographer. He was a special mentor to me as I started my own photography business. No doubt he will be missed by many.

Rod was my Uncle and had a major impact on my life the path I took in life. I 'worked' in his lab several summers and as an adult played golf in Memphis and Florida with him. He was a role model we all looked up to.  R.I.P. Uncle Rod, will truly Miss you...  Love, Bill

Condolences from Philip Ford,Deborah Ford Mincer and Steven Ford and family....

I am so very sorry to hear of his passing.  I am sorry i didn't know earlier so i could come to his service.  he was adorable.  best neighbor.  always loved all of the phillips.

I had the honor of having Rod and Genny as customers when I was with a photo lab, in Memphis, back in the late 70's to early 80's. They both have had a lasting impact on my life.  He always had a smile and a friendly word for everyone. He was and will always be the benchmark of the kind of man, father, and grandfather I have tried to be. Rest well, sir. My heart and prayers to Genny and family.

Dear Genny and family, Rod will surely be missed.  He was a genuine and kind man.  He truly was a fantastic photographer.  Rod also was a loyal friend to my father and me.  Thoughout the years, I witnessed how much he loved Genny and his family.  God bless Rod and you all.  Thank you Rod for all the years of kindness and support you shared with me.

Jeff,
I knew your Dad long before I met you. He took all of my school pictures from third grade to graduation. I truly loved getting to know him while we were at Southwestern together. He truly was a great man and a model of the Christian servant. My deepest sympathy to you, Spike, Chip and your Mom. Chip Parrott

So sorry for your loss. I remember Mr Rodney when I was a kid coming to our houseusing some of my dad's (Ted M. Bruehls )photography equipment. He was a fixture about once a week.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
