Rod was born in Flint, Michigan on May 21, 1959 to Owen and Bonnie (Reifsnyder) Dorff. He was a Flushing High School graduate, class of 1977. In high school he was an outstanding athlete excelling and setting many records in football, track & field, and wrestling. After high school Rodney became a police officer and served for Grand Blanc and Flint Township. He was a proud volunteer firefighter for Flushing for 14 years and was on the fire crew at Michigan International Speedway for NASCAR races for 20 years. In his free time his hobbies included sailing in Ludington during the summer and snowmobiling in the winter. He married the love of his life, Mary, in Myrtle Beach on May 16, 2006. Rod retired from General Motors after 32 years from the Grand Blanc Weld Tool Center. Rod’s passion, though, was his cars and motorcycles. He loved his Harley Davidson but loved being a grandpa most of all.
