I always appreciated his wry sense of humor!
I worked with Fr. Bodde at St. Barnabas , Eastpointe in the 70's . He was a quiet , kind, and supportive man . His hobby was fixing clocks . He visited when my husband died in 2009 .My deepest sympathy and prayers to his family at this time . Evelyn McShane

RIP Father Bodde. Although we have not been neighbors but a couple years, I will deeply miss you, sharing meals with you and our chats. I am grateful for having the chance to know you and get to know the history of your family and my home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the warmth and kindness you showed me and my family when we moved in.
May you Rest In Peace now.
Love,
