Andrew "Andy" Bogner

Around the mid- nineties, I worked in a studio called Reynolds Recording, which was another part or half of Andys music store building in Flint. We had rented it out from him for 4-5 years. It was great to be working next to his great store because we got a lot of business from him and vise versa. Just being around his store, you seen so many musicians young and older always there. I remember once I had looked out the front door of the studio and seen an engineer from Benard Terry's studio...

I stopped in his store once didn't know anybody there but got to play on a set there 4 a short time I loved it. I'm sorry 4 your loss

I knew Andy from the Farrow's days. A special place & time. Ill never forget him standing there absolutely destroying the harmonica. He was allways cool to us Westside hoodlums. Now my Bogner's Sound & Music 6 string takes on a whole new meaning...Thanks, Andy

To Andy's family and friends, you are ALL in my prayers. Peace, and God Bless.

Good business man in a competitive field and gave lot of people jobs over the years in the Flint area. Individual or corporate he tried best to meet the need of the customer. Half of my basement is filled with Bogner stuff. Will be missed.

RIH Andy. I learned a lot from you. You always answered my music questions and encouraged me to keep on singing.I will never forget you. God bless your family. We had a lot of laughs about me being dubbed the"singing sergeant." RIP.

R.I.P Andy, I will miss our talks of BBQ, your friends at Electronic Parts Specialists

A fellow musician friend from Flint let me know of Andy's passing...I'm shocked, to say the least. Andy was one of the sweetest, most likable, all-around good guys you'd ever hope to meet. Always kind, intelligent, & generous (even as a businessman) to a fault.

My friend & I first met Andy on a music store trip to Warren, & Andy couldn't have been more helpful & friendly. We went to Lansing to visit when he relocated there, & were later surprised & pleased when he opened for business...
