To the friends and family of Rhodes Dodson. Many years ago while working in the banking industry here in Greensboro Rhodes was working with a man who had a dream of starting a landscapeing business. He had gotten referred to Rhodes to provide landscaping services to the 13 branches in Greensboro he had resposibility for. Although Rhodes probably was able to see through the young man’s’ attempt to appear like a big established service provider, he made the decision to hire the young man. The man who came in with a new samsonite briefcase (that his dear mother had just given him for Christmas). The young man with a wife and 5 small children at home anxiously awaiting the news wheather or not dad had gotten the contact. Rhodes probably didn’t know the young business dressed man with the shiny new briefcase owned just one hand me down push mower and a leaf rake. Incredibally didn’t even own a pick up truck. Fast forward many years down the road the company prospered and grew following its motto. “Dedicated to Excellence “ for over 50 years Whiteside landscape services has provided trend setting beautification and care to Greensboro . Again many , many thanks Rhodes for giving an eager young man a chance. Thanks for founding my career that would go onto providing jobs for many of my 8 children and 31 grand and great grandchildren . I wish all good things for your family and friends.
