Rodney James Mustard was born to Doris Evenlyn (Higgins) Mustard Kornele and Alonzo Flinton Mustard Jr. on October 3, 1940, in Sterling Kansas. He passed away at the age of 76 years, 11 months and 15 days at St. Mary Regional Medical Center surrounded by his loving wife of 52 years and their four children and numerous family members. As a little boy Rodney and his parents moved around due to his step-dad's (Albert Kornele) job. He obtained his general education from 22 different schools up through high school, then received his GED in the United States Air Force in 1957. Rodney served in the United States Air Force from the year of 1957 to 1962 while learning the trade of heating and air conditioning.
After his service in the Air Force he moved to Alva, Oklahoma. That is where he was introduced to Miss Lorena Blanche Doak through family. Rodney had met the love of his life, and moved to McCook, Nebraska, to be near his sweetheart. After a few years of writing love letters to one another, he then married the love of his life. They were united in marriage in McCook on February 27, 1965, by Reverend Munday at the Egan Park Baptist Parsonage. Of their union of marriage they had four children: Rodney Glenn, Lee Edwin, Tina Marie and Teresa Lorena. Rodney and Blanche made their home in McCook, raising their children. In 1968 they moved their family back to Alva, where Rodney worked for Max Savere. He then partnered with Larry Roberts in buying Savere Air Conditioning. Rodney then sold his half of the air conditioning business in 1976 and started his own business, Rod's Refrigeration, and continued that for the next 41 years until his death. During that time he also worked for five years at Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva. He spent his free time reading the manuals of the water-cooled units. He loved a challenge, and loved working with those guys.
