Guestbook

  1. My wife and I have had the honor of knowing Mr. Rhodes for 12 years, since he came to retexture the interior walls of our home, at age 83–without an assistant. He did a beautiful job, pausing only to play our daughter’s piano and to check on his wife Jenny. As his physician for the last 8 years, we enjoyed many discussions about how things worked, or didn’t. This honorable man will be missed, and we will strive for the quality in our work that he achieved in his.
