Obituary for Harry James Rhoades

Harry Rhoades III, age 57 of Blaine passed away peacefully on April 5, 2014 surrounded by his family. Harry was preceded in death by his son, Harry Jr. and his parents, Helen & Hugh Murray. He is survived by his wife, Linda; children, Jamie (Josh) Bernu, Jeremy, Steven & Joshua Rhoades; grandchildren, Evelynn, Graham & Rylie; siblings, Jan Banaszewski, Mary Kay Merila, Mike (Patty) Murray and Terri (Royal) Melby; many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Harry was a man who found happiness in the simple pleasures of family and loved the outdoors. If he had a garden to tend, a stand in the woods or a fishing pole in his hands, he was happy. He always made you feel welcome at his home, made sure you had a full belly and a place to relax. Wherever Harry went, he always greeted you with a hearty “How the hell are ya?” Harry was one of a kind, unique, special and loved by many. He will be remembered for his sense of humor, gracious heart and is truly loved by all who knew him. Funeral service will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2014 at 2:00pm at the KOZLAK-RADULOVICH BLAINE CHAPEL (107th Ave. NE & Hwy. 65) with visitation one hour prior.
