E-116-YH Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) It saddens me to report this, but just this morning I confirmed with the Tacoma, Washington Medical Examiner's Office that on the 10th of this month RODGER HARTLEY did in fact proceed on to the big Dodge Brothers Dealership in the sky. For nearly fifty years RODGER was a good friend and now this earth is not the same, it is going to be a much lonelier place without RODGER. What RODGER knew about four cylinder Dodge Brothers Automobiles would have filed volumes of books! The hobby is now a much emptier place with RODGERS departure. Here is link to Rodger's obituary. https://www.newtacoma.com/obituary/rodger-hartley Edited January 23 by E-116-YH (see edit history) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22touring Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I am so sad to hear that. Over the years Rodger was very kind and helpful to me with my '22 tourer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30DodgePanel Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Still in shock. I spoke to him recently and quickly learned he was willing to help a fellow Dodge Brother out with anything. A true gentleman with a soft spirit. Thank you Rodger Dodger, you'll never be forgotten for your countless contributions to the Dodge Brothers community over the years. Gods speed to your family and may you rest in peace friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cutler Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 A virtual moment of silence, I will silence my DB 218 c.i. In the ‘38 for a minute in memory of one of the greatest DB historians in my lifetime, god speed my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gossp Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 A loss for all of us. Roger helped me a great deal with my 15… when we could keep the conversation on task enough to do so. A friend to many that will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Very sad to hear the news. Rodger rebuilt the radio for my 36 Dodge several years back. Such a great guy always there to lend a hand. God speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Jr. Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Sorry to hear of his passing. As others said he was a wealth of information. He helped me out several times in determining my 1921 Dodge Touring. It was a mix of different years that I purchased many years ago. He saved the day many times and other folks on this forum keep me in the right direction to get it road worthy. Thoughts and prayers to his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
