Obituary for Rodney J Gendron
Rodney J Gendron passed away peacefully surrounded by family at Orange Regional Medical Center on Wednesday February 12, at the age of 77.
Born on June 22, 1942 in Tarrytown NY he was the son of the late Remi and Laudia Saulnier Gendron. He married Barbara Tubal in 1963 and together they raised three sons in Fairoaks, NY.
He was a car salesman for Johnstons Toyota of Middletown where his love of vehicles made for a perfect fit as someone who could be trusted to help when purchasing a car. Rod was an avid car enthusiast who took pride in his own classic cars “the Creamsicles” and attended car shows with his wife. He enjoyed betting on horse racing and trying his luck in the New York State lottery in his free time. He could fix anything and took great pride in caring for his home, as well as spending quiet time in the family garden.
He also spent time as an honorary member of the Circleville Fire Department.
Rodney was a devoted husband, father, and grandparent who will be greatly missed. He led a great fulfilled life, and his memory will be cherished by his family.
