John Rhodes fully used his short time on earth.  We will remember his incredible zest for life and the sparkling twinkle in his eye.  He deeply loved his family and treasured his friends.  John Rhodes is an irreplaceable gift to those who knew him.  He "seized the day" every day of his life.  May his legacy for us be his vitality and joy of living.  May he inspire each of us to become "superb meteors" whose glow will help to make this world a better place.  We love you John and will never forget you!

I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time. - Jack London's Credo -
