Bill, Edddie & Joey, I am so sorry to hear about your dad/grandpa. I was talking to Barb a couple of weeks ago and she said that he wasn't doing well. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

Bill and Larry, so sorry to hear about your dad. He was a great guy and a good golfer. We recently lost our mom so I know what you are going through. Chin up and go hit some golf balls in his honor this summer.

Mary Lou, Bill and Larry: We are so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. We know that this is a very big loss for you and all the grandchildren, great grandchildren and other relatives. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorry and grieving. May God bless and give you strength. We also feel badly that our families have not been able to sustain connections over the years, and be of more assistance and support to you during this time of stress and need. Sam will join you in South Haven on Friday, April 1, 2011. Please let us know, if there is anyway we can be helpful at this time.

so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was a great guy and I have many fond memories of him and Dad at the old Sport Shop and of watching them bowl. He was always one of my favorite people and will be missed.

We are so sorry to hear of Bill's death. Stanley (son of Lillian May Hodge Weaver) was very fond of Bill & tells about Bill & "Woody" Hodge riding the rails to California, & eating LOTS of ice cream. You are in our thoughts & prayers. We send you our love & hugs.

Aunt Mary, Bill, & Larry. Nuchda and I were sad to hear of Uncle Bill's passing. The love of family, friends, and God will sustain you through this time of transition. Uncle Bill will always be with us as each member of the Hodge family is still with us--in thought and our every deed. That is the legacy we have as members of the Hodge family. Our love and prayers are with you from half way around the world.

Larry and Jason, I'm sorry to read about the passing of your father and grandfather. I didn't know him, but I'm sure that he was as great of a guy as you two were. I spent time with Larry and Jason at freestyle wrestling tournaments and practices back in my high school days.

Jack & Nuchda...Sorry to hear of your loss in your family. I have been trying to find out if you both are OK, since the tsunami that hit Thailand in 2004. I miss Nuchda stopping by to say hello when you are in the states. If you get back to Paw Paw, stop by and say hello again...Your use to be neighbor, Carolyn Balling.
