A great Tiger fan is going into


Feb 1, 2021, 9:17 AM

hospice care today. His name is Horace Rhodes and he is 92. He was a football season ticket holder and IPTAY member for over 60 years. His idea of fun was to get to football games early and cook up a huge pot of Brunswick Stew and hand bowls of it to any and everybody who wanted it. He would never leave a game early no matter the score. He never missed a Carolina game for years except for some years when he was an Army Ranger. His granddaughter is a Clemson grad. He was a home builder in Anderson for many years. Although Hospice has been called in, he told his son yesterday, "I'm not going down 'til the flag is on the ground."

I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Rhodes. I along with so many other’s will be continually praying for Mr. Rhodes and his family. Praying for Mr. Rhodes to be lifted up to God’s loving healing hands. I pray the flag falls very very slow to the ground.

I don’t know Mr. Rhodes but based on your post Mr. Rhodes is a great man who is full of kindness, compassion, and a very generous person. We need more people like Mr. Rhodes in the world. People like Mr. Rhodes make the world a better place, makes people’s lives happier and make tailgating a lot of fun for so many people. I would like to have had a bowl of that Brunswick Stew.

It’s people like Mr. Rhodes that make The Clemson Family so special. Thank You Sir for your service to our country as an Army Ranger!

Congratulations to your Granddaughter as a Clemson graduate. My daughter is a 2015 Clemson Grad.

May God Bless you and your family each day.

Those were the kind of men that helped to sculpt this country, and the moroles that we use to live by until, our lawmakers stopped parents from turning boys, and girls into solid, honest, strong young men-women that believed that God, and Country were first served!!!

I think that from what you've said about Mr Rhodes, that he has already made his reservations in the kingdom of Heaven bc, during his lifetime, he had planned his map to Heaven through Jesus Christ, our lord and savior. Prayers for his family!!!
