I just now noticed the obituary for Paul F. Bodeau. I am sorry for your loss. I don’t mean to intrude into your family privacy. My name is Paul C. Bodeau. The last name Bodeau is rare, so I am reluctantly approaching you.
My father, passed, is Louis F. Bodeau, and my Grandfather, passed, is Frederic Bodeau. Just maybe these names are familiar, so I shared them.
Thank you for reading this. I will not bother you more.
Paul Bodeau
