  Milford M. "Hunky" Bodoh, age 86, of Clintonville, WI, passed away Monday morning, October 13, 2008, at his home. Milford was born on October 25, 1921, in the Township of Matteson, Waupaca County, WI. He was the son of the late Marshall and Pearl (Cass) Bodoh. As a young boy Milford received the nickname "Hunky" from his aunt and the name stuck with him for the rest of his life. During his high school years, Hunky played football and basketball for the Clintonville Truckers. He then joined the United States Coast Guard in June of 1942 being honorably discharged in April of 1946.
