Not sure what to say?

I played varsity basketball at Wauwatosa East under Coach Dodds for two years, graduating in 1969. What a great experience. He also taught an honors math course I took which included a two week section on statistics, which he had studied at Drake U. I so enjoyed that introduction that I majored in statistics at the U. of Tennessee. So, count me as one more whose life was influenced by him. Living now in California, I was unable to attend the funeral. Had I been able to do so, I would...

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Dodds back when John and I attended Marquette High School. What a nice, kind and thoughtful gentleman he was. My sympathies go out to John and the entire family on your loss. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am saddened by the passing of a wonderful man who cared deeply for his wife and family. I always found Mal to be kind and thoughtful. His record in life as a teacher, coach and mentor for so many is a testament to him and to all of you. Please
know that my thoughts and prayers are being offered for the entire Dodds' family.

God bless you all.

I played for Coach Dodds in 1970-72 at Tosa East. He was also my teacher in Trig! He taught me the fundamentals of basketball and life lessons that I still carry with me today. He had a full life of freely giving of his time and talents. My sincere condolences to the family. Best regards, Eugene Clark, Class of 1972

I last had the pleasure of visiting with Mr. Dodds at my mother's birthday party in West Bend two years ago. I was amazed he was still teaching! He was a wonderful man and my deepest condolences go to the family for their loss.

We are so sorry for your loss. We are there in spirit although we may not be there in spirit. Mal was a great man and a friend to many. He will be missed!! The Gill Family

Under Coach Dodds, our Wauwatosa East team of 1969-70 went undefeated in regular season and succeeded in going to the semi-finals of the Wisconsin State Basketball Tournament in. I will never forget that entire year of high school basketball played at the highest level. His focus on fundamentals and team play provided life lessons to me that I appreciate to this day. My condolences to his family. Thanks Coach Dodds and may God be with you. Jerry Clark 'Tosa East Class of 1970

Coached and taught me in the late '50s. One of the few who really cared. A wonderful man.
