John Rode's Obituary
John S. Rode, 80, of Huntersville died October 3, 2019 at his home. He was born on September 10, 1939 in Mt. Vernon, NY to the late John and Yvette Rode. He is preceded in death by his wife Marjory.
After a long career in law in New York City, John and Marjory retired to North Carolina in 2006 to be closer to family. John joined the NorthStone Country Club and spent many an enjoyable day on the course with the ROMEO's golf group. He also spent time on multiple Southern race tracks as a pit crew member with a group of friends, and was always willing to lend a hand or a bit of advice for those who stopped by to visit at his front porch in Centennial. He greatly enjoyed watching his grandchildren grow up and spending time with his sons and their wives.
Survivors include his sons, Greg Rode and wife Abby of Huntersville and Eric Rode and wife Margaret of Evergreen, CO; brothers, Henry and Peter; and grandchildren, Rebecca and Garrett.
