If you ever had Jody for a friend, it was forever. He along with many others, carried the scars and troubles of Viet Nam. Thank you, Jodie for your service. You earned your wings while in Viet Nam. Many times have I been told it was pure hell. Fly high! You will be missed but never forgotten. I will miss seeing your smile. Every time I would see you, you’d smile. To your family, you have my deepest sympathy. Blessed be!
Todd and I love and miss you very much.You are in a better place now.
I am sorry for your loss….may God be with you and bless you in your time of need
