7/31/1944 – 10/22/2016

Rodney was born in Fullerton, Ne. He attended several different schools during his school years. He graduated from Herman High and always had a special place in his heart for the class of “62”

He worked for Braniff Airlines for many years and then went to work for Dultmeier Sales in Omaha, where he eventually retired. He worked in shipping. No one could wrap and label a package faster or neater than he could.

He was an avid fisherman for most of his life. He was a real expert with rods, reels, and lures. This was something he really enjoyed, but mostly it was catch and release. One of his favorite things was going on Minnesota fishing trips with his son Brad and his father in law Roger.

After he retired he was a good friend to the Nebraska Humane Society. He helped out there when he could and took care of many foster cats. His love for animals was very apparent from the many cats, squirrels, birds, etc. that he fed every day.

A Celebration of Rodney’s Life will be 5:00 – 7:00 PM Thursday (10/27/2016) at Roeder Mortuary 2727 N. 108th St Omaha, Nebraska
