Jim and Kathy;  I and very sorry to hear of the loss of your Father, Jim please know that my thought's and prayer's are with you all at this time. Renee Walden Salinas CA

My dog, Lola and I visited with Ross every Friday morning at
Copperhills.  I remember first meeting Ross last year, when Lola and I began "Love on a Leash".  All the other dogs were little ones - Lola is a black lab.  Ross said "now there's a dog".  From then on, we always sat by Ross on Fridays.  What a wonderful man, he'll be greatly missed by all his friends at Copperhills.  God bless you, Ross.  Florence Regular

My thoughts and prayers go out to you Steve and your brother. Please accept our family's condolences.

I remember my father, Alton Finch, having
conversations with Ross. They had a lot in common and he enjoyed his pleasant personality. Also my husband,Don, knew
him in Rotary as a fine, upstanding, gentle man.

God speed my friend, you will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, so sorry.
Leo and Mary McGuire, Copperhills House.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ross Rodney shortly after I took the job of citrus specialist at the University of Arizona.  What a resource he was!  As he aged, I had the pleasure of meeting him once or twice a year to update him on the citrus program and the citrus industry in general.  Probably my most memorable time with him was the time he decided to tell me some of his World War II experiences.  I had no idea that he served so bravely.  We have a photo of Ross on the wall at the Yuma Agriculture Center and it captures his spirit.
What a wonderful man he was, humble and kind.  You have been blessed to have him as a brother, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.  I am especially happy to know that he is probably tending to God's garden now, and having the time of his life.  Please accept my deepest condolences and prayers.

It was a pleasure to work for Dr. Rodney.

Every morning I pass by Navy Pier where you and Grandma once walked hand in hand. I'm glad you are once again.
