Dear MSCC Members: 

"The best and most beautiful things cannot be seen nor touched, but are felt

in the heart." - Helen Keller 

"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a

butterfly." - Richard Bach 

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Rod Whalen. His

passing was peaceful and he has moved to a better place. 

Rod joined and served our chapter, both as a wonderful individual and as our

Treasurer. He was always a gentleman, full of inspiration and guidance. He

is survived by his wife of 72 years, Mary and his daughter, Nancy Hollo. We

will miss him! 

Please standby as the family makes arrangements for his memorial service.

Once we have received them, they will be passed on so we can celebrate Rod. 

With Heartfelt Sadness, 

Camille

Camille Tate
