Not sure what to say?

Vanessa, so sorry about your father.

Coach Bodak. Gary/Chicago boxing. CYO. You were there for us. You taught self defense, integrity, self confidence, and pride. You kept us out of trouble. You showed love and understanding. You will be missed coach. God Bless you..Rest in peace.

Chuck was a Great Teacher of Boxing & Life helping ALL kids from the streets the true meaning of being a man, his wisdom, honesty, & integrity will be remembered by ALL.

We had the pleasure of meeting and working with this fine gentleman in Las Vegas. He worked the corner for us. He was a consumate professional and a fair and decent man in a sport riddled with nefarious characters. He will truly be missed. He was one of a kind and a true legend of the sport. In every sense of the word, Chuck Bodak was special. Farewell until we meet again.

what a loss to all of us who knew the bodak family.we are so sorry for their lost.god bless
