Please know that the Tullis family was very much indebted to Dick Bodine for a good living and inspiration when our LD and Keith were employed by Bodine Sewer. He was a man not easy to miss or forgot. If more men had Dick's strengths and devotion to good business the USA would not be in the poor shape of affairs it is in today. The family should always walk proud. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The Tullis'

My family and I became neighbors of Dicks in 1971, living 2nd house west of him. He was a wonderful neighbor, a great businessman, and a skilled worker. He kept every machine and vehicle so neat and clean that without knowing him even, you could tell he was a professional in his field. He helped and guided us in several ways and I always valued him. May God bless Dick and his family...and we know there will never be another drain problem in Heaven.

Sorry to hear of Dick's passing. He did many contract jobs at Firestone for me. He also sponsored my my son's little league team for a couple of years. Sometimes he would drop by my house on Saturday mornings just to share a coffee. Our family moved to Pennsylvania in 1977. I always appreciated his honesty and trustworthiness.

Jac, Adam, Kimmie, Jami and the rest of the family... I am sorry to hear about the loss of your grandfather. He is spending his eternal life with his love in heaven, your grandmother. I am sure she greeted him with a smile and they joined hands and walked through the pearly gates. What a wonderful life he has lived and he shared it with all of you. Be blessed and let him live through all of you. My prayers are for you and your families while you face this difficult time. Love all of you! Shawana
