DETROIT FREE DECEMBER 29, 1988 9D OBITUARIES Lawyer and sportsman Daniel Hodgman brought skills to bridge table TERESA BLOSSOM Free Press Staff Writer Friends and relatives knew to be wary when they sat down to play bridge with Daniel Hodgman. Mr. Hodgman loved the game and became a master of duplicate bridge. "He'd give you a heck of a game. Only the best could play with him," said his daughter-in-law, Mary Rose Hodgman.

Failing health also forced Mr. Hodgman to give up sporting activities he loved, including curling on Sundays. "He was considered the minister of the sinners club because that's what the men did instead of going to church," his daughter-in-law said. Other survivors include his wife Constance; three other sons, Jeffrey, Philip and Mark, and 10 grandchildren.
