Hi Pa - it's been 4 years since we said goodbye to you. Seems so hard to believe sometimes. I think of you often. On my way home from work the other day there was a beautiful sunset shining on the river as I was crossing the bridge. I immediately thought how you would enjoy seeing it. I went out to get the paper this morning and a pretty cardinal greeted me with a lovely song. When things like this happen it reminds me that you are always with me. I love you, Pa!

Hi Pa: I can't believe its been 3 years already. I want you to know that you left us with many good memories and lessons to live by. There are so many times I go to do something and you are there.

Thanks for all you did for us.

As you know by now, Mom left us yesterday. We all had a chance to say our goodbyes to our wonderful mother who loved us so much. It was 11:20. I guess she wanted to be with you for 12:00 as know her clock was always set 20 minutes ahead. We will miss you both very much, but it is great to know that now you will spend eternity together. Give her a big hug for us.

Pa - Yesterday was a beautiful "springlike" day - perfect weather to take a walk around my neighborhood after work. As I was walking, I suddenly felt the need to stop and look at the time. Just as I looked at my phone, the time changed to 6:59. That was the exact time we lost you. At that very moment, I felt this warmth come over me. I took that as a sign that you were with me at that very moment. You will live forever in my heart! I think of you often and miss you so much! I love you Pa!???

Correction and apologies on my previous post...I actually got to talk to Mr. Bilodeau last summer while visiting my grandfather, Harry Fotakis, in the Maine State Veterans Home. My grandfather passed this past January. I am sure they both are talking about old times in heaven. May God comfort the Bilodeau family during this difficult time.

Mike Choate
February 24, 2012
I want to thank you all for sharing Mr. Bilodeau with me. I was fortunate to spend many summers at my grandparent's, the Choate's. I made an incredible friend who was my first boss. He paid me to mow and to trim the road and to pull the weeds over at Paul's. He even let me drive that beautiful old brown dodge pickup truck all over the camproads. Amazing times fishing and boating and cooking white perch on the grill with coffee cakes and butter. Thanks for the great memories. I am so glad I walked over to see him this summer. It was amazing to have my grandfather, Herb Thulen, Albert, and Harry Fotakis sitting at the same table all talking about the good old days. My thoughts are with the family, and thanks for the great times, Albert. REST IN PEACE!
