We were truely blessed to have been neighbors with Bodo & Ruth. We are so grateful to God for putting them in our lives. May God wrap his loving arms around Bodo and give Ruth strength. We love you Bodo & Ruth

Deepest sympathy on your loss. Have never forgotten the youth trips Bodo and Mary chaperoned us as young people, all pleasant memories. God bless you all and be comforted knowing you're all loved. William Tautphaeus

Many good times are engraved in our hearts and minds... Bodo was our mentor in the early years and continued to be instrumental in taking care of his flock for many years to come... He will only be missed here on earth for a short time until we are all reunited... Regards and condolences to the family...

Dear Ruth and family,please except our most and deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband,father,and grandfather.We have always believed that you are remembered for what you have done. In this case he served the congregation as a priest, choir director, and youth leader. I am sure our dear God will welcome him into the realms of eternity with open arms. I pray that you and your family will be uplifted and strengthened by this. With all our love and prayers. Roger and Joyce Coombs

I am so sorry for your loss. Bodo has been a friend since we were just young folks. Lots of laughs and good memories. God Bless you all and keep you strong.

Bodo was a wonderful person. We prayed together on several occasions. He was a wonderful carpenter. My prayers for the entire family.

We are unable to make it to the funeral or visitation and wanted to let you know that you are all in our thoughts and prays.
