Lawrence Bodick Obituary

Published by Legacy on Mar. 19, 2026.
Lawrence "Larry" "Lucky" Bodick, 71, of Vero beach, Florida passed away on Tuesday, March 17, 2026.

He was born on Tuesday, November 16, 1954, to Filomena (Ferrara) and Emilion Bodick. Larry spent 65 years in Milford before living the past 6 years in Vero Beach. He graduated from Milford High School in 1972.

On January 31, 1999, he married Patricia (Basile) Bodick. Larry worked at Milford Boat Works for over 50 years as the boat yard foreman. He was an avid golfer and served on the board of directors at his HOA. Larry loved traveling with family, friends, and golf buddies, and cherished all of his friends past and present.

Larry is survived by his wife, Patti; stepson, Jon Paul (Casey) Bouchard; grandchildren, Emma & Oliver Bouchard; and his ex-wife, Nancy Bennett. He is also survived by his in-laws Joanne (Joe) Basile, Kathy (Paul) Hoyt, Mary Ann Basile, Nick (Linda) Basile, Eloise Breen, Carole Ann (Bob) Bernier, Jamie Basile, Michael (Susan) Basile, and Angelina Wing, as well as many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his cousins Billy (Jane) Banks, Alfie Banks, and Mike Banks.

He was predeceased by his parents Filomena and Emilion, his son, Andrew Bodick, and his brothers-in-law, Joe Basile and Bill Wing.

Larry was a loving family man who had the talent to make friends easily, make people laugh, and would do anything anyone needed or wanted. He worked and played very hard and will be sorely missed. He has been described many times as "Larger than life."

Celebrations of life will be planned, one for friends and family in Vero Beach, FL and one in Milford, CT.
