Stan Rhodes, Age 77
Stan was born in Short Gap, West Virginia.
He joined the Army during the Vietnam War and commanded a helicopter gunship.
Although shot down four times, he never lost a man.
He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross from the U.S. Department of Defense for heroism above and beyond the call of duty.
He came home and took a job with a Savings and Loan which he eventually built into one of the largest and most successful mortgage lenders in the U.S.
I had the opportunity to have dinner with Stan and his wife shortly before his death.
Even after his life of great accomplishments, he was the same Stan.
He lived as he was raised with “Down to earth humility.”
