Jody worked with his father at Price Construction operating a hoe and skid loader and putting in septic tanks. He also worked in in-home health care providing CDAC services. He was an all-around handyman and great mechanic, who could fix anything.

He also enjoyed watching horror movies, scrapping metal, and going to the Casino. He played on a pool league at Fat Annie’s. Jody was very outgoing, enjoyed visiting with others, flirting with others, had a great sense of humor, and never knew a stranger. Jody was very generous and had a huge heart, always willing to help anyone in anyway. He loved his animals, including his dogs, Creamy, Brownie, and Hurley, and his dad’s dog, Sammy. He raised pigs, cows and chickens in town in Moravia and was the only person that could get away with doing so. Jody’s family was everything to him. He always checked in with them and cherished the time he spent with them, especially his children, nieces and nephews whom he loved to spoil.
