Rosalind, Harold, Charles and Virginia were children born to Walter and June Amelia Mack Rhodes.
I hold many memories of brother Harold and our family growing up at 129 Wright St. He introduced me to the best hamburgs in Corry at the long gone 'Texas Lunch'. I actually learned to drive a stick shift on his 1951 Plymouth that I drove back and forth in our driveway until I ran it out of gas. Oh, yes Harold was away in the US Air Force during this escapade of mine.
He worked on building the Kinzua dam in Warren Co PA in the early 1960's. He worked over 25 years at Kaufferlin's Tractor dealership in Union City as Parts Manager.
Harold lost his wife, of over 30 years, Pam Jackson 04 Jun 2019 at their home on Wright St. Corry.
Brother Harold will be missed by many.
