John was for some 25 years a business partner and good friend. Although our lives grew apart the last 10 years or so, we always picked up just like it was yesterday. I will never forget what a light he was in my life. A great friend especially when you needed one. I will miss him.

I grew up right across the street from John Bohlken and, remember John and Mrs. Bohlken ,always being wonderful neighbors. John had a German Shepherd named Princess that never left his side and, I used to give John guitar lessons which he used to play," Smoke On The Water", non-stop in his garage.
John was older than all of us but was a big kid at heart.
We all will miss him.

Dearest Deb & Family,
I was & am shocked to learn of John's passing. He was a gentle, kind man. I never heard a negative word come from him since I met him when he and Michael were in Junior High School. He will be missed. What a great spirit!
