Oh Jim Bodi... what a funny and dear man. We met a long while ago and I was lucky enough to travel with him on safari. He was kind, grateful and generous always helping. Jim served on the board that rescues young Kenyan girls from early forced marriage - he was adamant that they have a better life and he changed many. We will be forever grateful for his time and care. Will miss my pal but know there is a star burning just a little brighter in the sky now.

My sincere condolences.

To say that he was an unique individual doesn't even scratch the surface. I will continue to smile every time I think of him.

Rest in peace Buddy

My Deepest condolences.

Jim was our tennis buddy (3 women and Jim) going back 30 years starting from the old Skyline Club and then on to the Royal Woodbine club and to Eglington Flats and finally Pine Point. We had a lot of laughs together, and will be deeply missed at our Sunday morning coffee meets.

Love - Anna.
