Subject: Arthur Bodine Jr.
Hello. I knew Art when I was a little girl. He was married to my Aunt Wanda Bodine. I know they had an explosive seperation/divorce. I never got to see him again and I always have occasionally looked for him online but never found out anything. I saw on your page that he died at the young age of 53. I am 45 now myself and that seems so young to me. I cared about him alot but was told sort of never to bring him up or that he ran off with another woman. But my feelings for my Uncle Art were very strong and I dont personally hold anything against him of course. I suppose I am just writing to send my condolences and find out why he died so young. They took me to Dogpatch USA when I was 4 or 5 he rode a ride with me that I wanted to ride hahah lol anyway I will close for now. I will try to see if I have any pics of him but I am not sure if I do.
Thank you
Jett Swats
