Brasher Falls – Mr. Robert J. “Bob” Bodway, 63, passed away peacefully on Thursday July 28, 2022 at his son Robby’s home in Brasher Falls where he was under the care of Hospice.

For some time, Bob worked as a mechanic at Chrysler Automotive in Massena before following his passion as a dairy farmer. For many years Bob was a dedicated farmhand at Bilow Farms in Malone and most recently was working at Wal – Mart until he was unable to do so due to his diagnosis.

A private man with a gentle spirit, Bob enjoyed the serenity of the outdoors, especially when he was fishing, camping, and farming.
