Prayers of comfort to the Bodley Family. I have not seen David since our 1978 HS Graduation but David was a very good friend and classmate during our elementary and high school years. He will be missed but remembered.

Dennis, Mr. Dennis, Ms. Dorothy, Dana and family I am so sorry for your loss. David was a friend, classmate and attorney of mine. I was so impressed by how he handled himself and how professional David was as an attorney. When my twins were born the first thing I thought of was the Bodley's and how special twins were. I will never forget the good times in middle school, high school and summers in Pocomoke, Assateague and Ocean City before we all became parents and started our families. Fly High my friend.... Godspeed.
