Dear Mary and Family,
Your son was a very ambitious young man as I recall in his teens and early twenties. He had goals and big dreams to achieve and you and Ted taught him well to work hard!! I can only imagine the pain of losing your son. God Bless you Mary and our family will pray for you to embrace John's life as he lived it!
Fondly,
Marilyn C. Bodogh

Please accept our deepest condolences at this difficult time. We are deeply saddened by the loss of a great friend. John & I were good friends at Dennis Morris high school. COR & Fr. Leroy Lee sparked a friendship that had us hosting Spanish visitors in Algonquin park, traveling to Spain to visit our new friends and sharing incredible life experiences that I will never forget. When I met my wife Linda, John told me if I didn't marry her, he would. Linda & I supported John during his struggle & when she was diagnosed with cancer last year we hoped they would walk together in the Rankin cancer run this year. Linda was called to God on on January 16, now John joins her with Him. I guess they walk together this year, with our Lord. I will miss your smile & quick whit my friend. Till we meet again.
