The Boddie Family,
Our Beloved Fred Jr, we so lovingly called him, will be sorely missed. I can remember his visit to Baltimore, especially at Momma's (Ophelia Boddie-Waddy) since I was a little girl. It was an exciting time as soon as he would hit the block, same as it were with his Dad, Fred Boddie, Sr. I told Fred at his retirement celebration, he is and always will be so loved by the family. God has blessed us with Fred in our lives and now Fred has reaped the reward of an eternal life with the God who loves him more. Rest in peace, my cousin, until that day when we all will be together in heaven with our Lord.

I will always remember Andy "on two feet like a duck, only not so wiggly". He always brought a smile to my face, and his memory will bring smiles to all who knew him. He will be truly missed.
