To the Bodkin Family-
Jack always had a smile & a little quip when I saw him. When I said "Hi Jack" he would say "dont say that at the airport!" He will be missed. Love, Lynette, Michelle & Eric

To the Bodkin Family,
I was shocked to see the passing of "Jack"..I never knew his family, but heard different stories about them. I knew Jack from often coming into the YMCA. He would always try to make his way around the track..I would always say hello & chat with him. Although he seemed quiet,he had a great sense of humor & we always shared a few laughs. He will be sadly missed.

Chris, Michael and family,
Betty and I were so sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. Memories are what we will have going forward and I always remember when your Mom and Dad would always have some cold 16oz Jennie's and we would sit around the kitchen table and talk about everything. He will surely be missed, may he rest in peace.
Love
