John Boehm Obituary

Boehm, John J. 88, baptized into the hope of Christ's Resurrection, died peacefully on March 2, 2013 surrounded by his family. He was born September 10, 1924 in St. Louis, MO, son of the late John Red & Mary (née Mannion). Beloved husband for 60 years of Pat (née Tragesser). Loving father of Mary Kay (Jim) Castello, Bill (Debbie) McDermott, John (Jan), Ray (Terri), Jean (Burry) Hinman, Rich (Mary), Bob (Stephanie Morgan), Jim (Pam), Tom (Anne) and Fr. Mike Boehm. Loving Pawpaw to Katie, Dave, Patti, Matt, Emily, Lisa, Nick, Tom, Kelli, Nick, Kelly, Christine, Jill, Jennifer, John, Amy, Kevin, Adam, Bridget, Charlie, Rob, Natalie, Sarah, Linda, Mike, Alex and Mimi. Great Grandfather to Dominic Johnson, Ryan & Brooklynn Ruengert and soon to be determined Boehm(?). Dear brother of the late Marg (Bob) Morris, the late Charlotte (Pat) McDermott, Theresa, Irene (the late Joe) McCann, Bob, Ray (the late Pat), the late Dick, Patsy (Fred) Deutschmann and Dottie (Dick) Daniels. Dear brother-inlaw, uncle, cousin, Coach and friend to many. PawPaw took great pride in loving Memaw, all of his kids (though he liked the outlaws even more!) and, in later years, showered his grand and great grandkids with boundless love - about whom he just couldn't listen to enough, love enough, see enough and know enough. Every one of them knows he loves them and always will. John was a longtime member of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, a member of Gentlemen of Sound Barbershop Chorus and a longtime volunteer at Catholic Charities. His concern for others continues with the donation of his body to SLU School of Medicine. Services: The Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, March 9 at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, 7148 Forsyth Blvd., University City, 63105. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Our Lady of Lourdes School or St. Patrick Center. Kutis Affton Service

Ray, Teri, Kevin,Amy and Adam, there are no words that seem to convey what we are feeling for all of you in the sudden separation of your dad , dad in law and grandpa. We have met him a time or two and he was such a friendly man and was very loved by his grand babies as was apparent by their affection towards him. Please know our thoughts, our prayers and our love are with all of you now and in the days and months ahead.
Love to you all,
Mike,Sue, Brigitte, Mitch, Vince , Tony and Jake
