Published on: Sunday, February 6, 2011
99,
�Marine Intruders. It is sad to have to report that our good friend, fellow Marine, and squadron mate, Charlie Rodenberg, has made his last earthly launch and no doubt, has now reported to Sky 6. The following includes information Merlyn and the family wish to pass on to Charlie's many friends and the Marine Intruder community. Charlie's passing has left a very large empty space in the daily muster, and will be missed. Alex Horster is serving as POC for Merlyn and the family.

Just talked to Merlyn and I think the following is good info to pass along. �If anyone wants to send cards they can ping me for the address. �Sound good?

Our friend Charlie passed from this life this morning at 4:00 Austin time. There is, of course, a heavy burden of grief that Merlyn is carrying but she is strengthened by her faith and the knowledge that Charlie lived large and well. He did a good job of preparing and protecting his family.
You can view Charlie's obituary at:www.cookwaldenforestoaks.com.� There is a message board available for you to write personal messages in Charlie's memory.
Merlyn has asked that, in lieu of flowers, the family would welcome and deeply appreciate donations to:
Christopher House Hospice Austin
4107 Spicewood Springs Road
Suite 100
Austin, Texas 78759
�
Additionally, most of you are probably aware of the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation's program that, in return for�a $300 donation, a "brick" commemorating a fellow Marine will be engraved and placed in the walk-ways surrounding the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico.�Details can be found at the following website. �http://www.marineheritage.org/BrickProgram.asp
�
The donor's name could read something like "USMC Comrades in Arms" but�other suggestions are�welcome.�Those of you who�are interested in participating, let me know, and I will compile a list for presentation to Merlyn and Charlie's grandkids.
� It is better to have rolled in hot and missed,
Than to never have rolled in at all.
