He is survived by his daughter, Sandra Pick, son Charles T Rhodes Jr, son in law Steven Pick, daughter-in-law April Rhodes, and his 5 granddaughters, Karlye, Abbie, Allison, Melanie and Jamie. His sister Elizabeth Wise, brother, Robert Rhodes Jr, and so many close family members and friends.
Tommy loved spending time with his granddaughters and cheering on their accomplishments. He enjoyed fishing on his brother’s boat and the occasional cold one and crabs with family and friends at a few of his favorite places: Happy Harbor, Mike’s and Top of the Hill.
Tommy passed away with the longest running achieving title, Captain of the Debate Team for his entire family. A title solely made up in his own mind. As any of you would know if you’ve ever been on the opposing side of his opinion. ߥ°
He was a loving, stubborn, brave and hard working man with a great sense of humor who undoubtedly will be missed.
