I am sorry to here about your loss. I know what it is like to loose a Father. My thoughts and Prayers will be with you and your family during this difficult time.

Grandpa Al is a very special person to me and has held a large place in my heart and in my memories since I was a young child. He was so generous and inclusive to me as a youngster growing up with his grand kids, Taylor and Ben. He was the closest thing I had to a Grandfather and I remember very distinctly that I was most often included in any surprises, gifts, or treats when Grandpa Al would send presents or come to town. I vividly remember the cartoon VHS tapes he would send. It seemed the art was more like storyboards than animation I guess he had a hunch where Taylor and Ben were heading with their careers. We would all run upstairs to watch the videos and eat the snacks that were included in our individual packages. Holidays and birthdays, same deal. Storytime was no different either. For Grandpa Al it was 3 the hard way Taylor, Ben, Myself. We all got ready for bed and then practically dogpiled onto him before being whisked away on a dreamy adventure narrated by his gentle southen' drawl... See you in the next chapter Grandpa Al. Love ya

Tom, 
Our prayers are with your family. I am honored to have known your Dad and my parents especially enjoyed his company while at Brighton Gardens and they asked me to send their condolences also.

Tommy: Sorry about the passing of your Dad. My sincerest condolences to you and your family. He was a kind and gentle spirit and I feel privileged to have known him. I remember the first time I met him, and I still have an envelope with his artwork on it. He made a difference in the world and we are going to miss him.

Our hearts and thoughts go out to the families. We wanted you to know how much we admired Alfred as we were often helped by him; and, always warmly greeted when we next encountered him. We are honored to have known him and appreciated his many thoughtful acts. We extended our warmest sympathies to you all at this time.

I worked for Alfred during the mid-90's. Working with him on one of his many letter-writing campaigns for the troops was always a lot of fun. I never see a sunflower without thinking of that ol' DevilDog. I'm blessed to have known him.

What a Gentleman! My association with Al was in the commercial real estate industry. I knew him to ALWAYS have a smile, a kind word and positive hope for everyone. He was a BIG fan for all causes he loved and cared about. I saw it especially for his family. May the Rohde Family be blessed in the season of mourning. We love and care about you...

To a great man who always had a kind word and smile for everyone. He wanted to teach and help when ever he could . A true gentlemen and hero in a world that is lossing too many of them . He will be missed !

I'll always cherish my visits to the Rohde office to get Al's pulse on what was happening with San Antonio real estate. Al was a true gentlemen who always gave selflessly; he will be truly missed.

Tommy: I am sorry for the loss of your father. He was a great man and I loved to see our "Uncle Sam". You and your famiy are in my thoughts and prayers. Ida Hincey Scott

Mr. Rohde was a great boss and I enjoyed the challenges he gave me on a daily bases. I will truly miss him....He and his family are in our prayers daily, Sandy & Jim

My heart goes out to all of you at this most difficult time. Al was a truly unique and remarkable man.

Dear Liz, Bill and the Rhode Family, 
San Antonio is better for having had Al Rhode, his insight, his foresight and his active participation in its growth... God bless him and his family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

To the Family: Alfred was always so professional, kind and caring. One of our favorite memories is: our grandaughter Haley @ about age 10 lost her new purse along with her vacation money in Mexico while vacationing with her parents, Scott and Sissy. About a week after getting home Haley raceived a package in the mailbox from Alfred. There in the box was a new purse along with a crist new $100.00 bill! God bless Alfred and all the Rohde family in this time of great loss.

Tom, My condolences to you and your family. My God bless and give you all the strength to stay strong through this time. I never knew your dad but knew of him. A great man who loved this City, and who was admired by many for his service to it. Regards, 
Chester Drash
