I met Jody when we 18 years old at Bowater. We were on the same shift for a while so we ran around together, playing a lot of golf. I use to love getting in his head. All it took was to tell him about that beautiful golf swing, no joke but then tell I don´t understand how you can have that swing but can´t score worth a crap, lol. Jody you were a great guy and will be missed by many.

Jody was always considured my #2 son. In growing up he was at my house as he was at his. My family loved Jody dearly. The whole Hager family was always close and dear friends.
