Louis Bodrie Obituary
He served as a Sgt. in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Lou enjoyed hunting and woodworking. He loved fishing with his buddies in AuGres at Sleepy Oaks Campground. Lou's favorite past time was watching westerns with his best buddy Cooper and tinkering in his pole barn.
