John Bossio Obituary
BOSSIO,
John W.
Long time Nine Mile Falls resident, passed away on February 14th, 2011 of a heart attack at his residence at 59 years of age. He was a conductor for BNSF for 30+ years and retired in 2006. John enjoyed working on his many friend's hydroplane motors and his own many car and truck projects. Fishing, rum and racing were his passions. He will be sorely missed by his railroad, racing and fishing buddies, and most of all by his family. He was preceded in death by his Father, John Angelo Bossio in March of 1999. He is survived by his Mother, Helena Bossio and his Wife, Denise Bossio. He is survived by his children Jerad Angelo Bossio and daughter Krista Marie Bossio. Brother, David Bossio and Sister, Putt Hicks. Daughter-in-law, Darla Enquist. Grandchildren, Nick, Geovanni and Olivia. We would like to personally thank Rich and Patty Beal and all of his friends for their help during this time. A potluck for family and friends will be held at Chuck Hillyard's house at 2 P.M. on Saturday, February 19th. at 12514 West Charles Rd.
Please call 206-321-8752 for any location/questions (Kristas' cell).

I will miss John terribly, and all of the bad luck stories of his and Denice's fishing trips (waking up floating down the river, burned up tent). He was a very special person who made all who knew him love him

I'll be missing my fishing buddy big time. Hope to meet up with him again when it's my turn to go to the big fishing hole in the sky! Hugs and comfort to Denise & the kids.

Lost a big part of my life the other night. He had always been my protector, and mentor, and the big brother that I never had. My heart is truly broken.I was so looking forward to the next several years.Love you John.

I've never known a day in my life without, "Den and John" being a household phrase within it. I was there for Kristas' birth and my best bud was Johns' son. I grew up having the best times at Den and Johns (and a bit of Boys-will-be boys-trouble) that John took pretty well considering.
John and Den were always there for my Mom and I. He trully enriched our lives and shared the best smoked salmon and trout we have ever experienced. We will miss him. We love you John. So John, how is it to have wings?

Sorry to hear of John's passing - although I hadn't seen him in years, he was always a good guy. Am sure he will be missed by many.
