Tim McFarland wrote a sympathy message

“To the greater Bodenhamer family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Dr. Bodenhamer was quite to productive man and was obviously, a brilliant financial mind. He was father of Ann Rosso, one of the finest human beings I have ever known and one of the finest people living in our NWA Region. He and Ann's lovely mother, Eleanor, had to be great parents, as we consider Ann and her life. Thank you, Ann, for bringing him to our Christmas party about three years ago. Hugs, love.”
