The obituary notice of Michael Leslie BODDY

A true lifelong friend to our family who we've shared many many happy times with. The holidays you and Hazel had with our parents Alan and Margaret were so special to them both. You were so central to life in Constance Ave and for those times we are so grateful.
Our love to Hazel and Simon and the family. X

MIKE,
AS A SALESMAN YOU COULD CONVINCE MOTHER TERESA TO TAKE THE PILL.
AS A LOYAL COLLEAGUE YOU WERE THE BEST. IN SHORT A JOY TO WORK WITH, AS A FRIEND I WILL MISS YOU.
JOHN FARMER

Grandad was such an important part of all our lives, and it’s hard to imagine things without him. He was always there with a story, a joke, or just a small 8 rounds of toast when you needed it. Some of my favourite memories are the simple moments spent with him, because he had a way of making us all laugh, even if it was only funny to him. He meant so much to our family, and I know we’ll all carry a part of him with us every day. xxx

A proud father, grandfather and great-grandfather, he was equally as proud of his own sense of humour, making sure everyone knew when he'd cracked somebody up by declaring "Look at Chris laughing!" whenever a joke would land well. In his prime, he was as quick on his feet as he was with his wit, and he'd always remind us of both. It was always "upstairs for thinking, downstairs for dancing". For certain, we'll think of you forever, and might even dance in your honour later on. Love you always grandad xxx
