Thinking of you Heather Thompson Woo 2010-03-12 15:28:16 Seems like I was just on this page for grandma Nieman and saw that you all posted a comment. I am so sorry to hear about Joe's passing. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I still remember all the times we used to go to his and Joan's house with mom and dad and what a huge WVU fan he was. I'm sure he and Joan are still cheering for them in heaven.

Joe Jr. Laura Burgoyne Bilek 2010-03-13 08:10:46 I was fortunate enough to grow up in Upper Tract, and hold dear the memories of not only Joe Jr.,Joan and Pete, but also Joe Sr. and Nellie. My thoughts and prayers are with you Sandy and Darrel.As we get older it seems our lives become a series of losses to bear. I hold on to the belief that all good people go to heaven. How they must be celebrating now....

May God's love and strength lift you... Shelley Kile Sartori 2010-03-13 08:29:19 Wow, what can I say... work, school, career, church, family... Joe was part of it all for me. He always had a smile on in face and a helping hand. I will never forget him or his family and what they did for me. May the Bodkin family find peace in the knowledge that he can now spend eternity with his maker (and his sweetheart). All my love and prayers.

Pam Boggs 2010-03-24 21:52:59 Just want to let the Bodkin family know that my prayers are with you in your loss.
