Nick Boddie

I am saddened by the loss of my dear friend and mentor, "Mr.Nick". He was truly a humble spirit who cared for all. Mr.Nick's ability to overlook the bad and see the good in everybody was a lesson to all who had the privledge of meeting him.
Goodbye Mr.Nick, you served as an example of how we should treat each other in this cruel world. Your kind heart and gentle spirit will be missed by many.

Love,

I was very sad to learn of Nick's passing. He and Mayo will always be part of the Historical Significance of North Carolina's Restaurant Industry. Nick was a great supporter of the restaurant industry at the national, state and local level. I join a legion of friends and associates in expressing my sense of loss that I share with his family and friends across the nation.

How sad I am to hear of Mr. Boddie's passing.

I had the privilege of working for BNE for 28 1/2 years. Nick was always a joy to see and was a true example of a gentleman. The world has truly lost a fine and gentle soul. I know that when it's my time to go, I'll see him in heaven 'cause there no other place for him to be. Deepest sympathy to Betsy, his children and their families and the entire Boddie family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Boddie family. Mr. Boddie was a wonderful man. I worked at Texas Steakhouse in Rocky Mount for several years and was able to get to know the Boddie family during that time. Nick Boddie will truly be missed.
