Charles "Charlie" Richard Hodges

I'll never forget. It was 7am. My first day, first class, freshman year of high school. Geometry in a new school, in a classroom buried in BC's "C" hall. (If you went there, you understand). In walks this huge human with a booming voice, and I thought life couldn't get any more intimidating. By the end of that first period, I was at ease. Mr. H. was funny, caring, and taught so (com)passionately. I'm sure classrooms of goofy freshmen weren't easy for him, but he sure made it easier for us.

I am so sorry to learn of your loss of Charlie. Your obituary describes a wonderful man, and his love for his family seems immense. What a terrible loss for you, Marie, and all your family. You have my greatest sympathy.

Condolences to the family and friends of Mr.Hodges. A person never knows the impact they might leave on someone just by being a good person and being kind. I graduated from Bear Creek in 1983 so you know how long ago that was... I share this to say that all these years later, I still remember Mr. Hodges, he was one of my favorite teachers. He was always so kind to me always such a very pleasant attitude. I had him for math and I absolutely hated math but yet I actually enjoyed attending his class because of him and, think I also passed math because of him lol. But all these years later when I heard his name, it made me sad just because of the way I remembered him from so many years ago and the positive impact he had on me in my high school years ...may he rest in peace.
