It was a distinct privilege getting to know Bill Hodge through The Arc, Warren County Chapter. He brought a Marine's sense to duty to his transportation role - taking excellent care of our buses and the people entrusted to him for access to our recreational activities. Love and respect always guided his interactions with children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
He and Edie made a wonderful team and Debbie carried on this tradition after Edie passed on - making certain our people arrived safe, sound and happy. Bill was also known to add an ice cream stop to his route.
After he retired from his driving role, Bill became The Arc's "Cake Boss", treating our dedicated office staff every Monday with delicious baked items.
Bill was definitely "old school" in approach to every responsibility he took on. As a fellow Phillipsburg native I was deeply proud of our local hero. He brought great joy to all who got to know this fine gentleman. William Hodge epitomized all the values that have made our agency a dependable and compassionate vehicle of help and hope - to all our consumers and their families. Blessed repose - eternal memory Bill.
