John Christopher Boedeker

there were times John and I would not see each other for years, but we would call, email or text each other every year on our birthdays. I would always kid John that he was an old man (as he was older). several times we talked for hours. I still miss my buddy and will think of him again every December 8th. Happy birthday bud.

One late summer evening on my bicycle, I stopped in at Johns to see what he was up to ... neither one of us had done anything interesting yet that summer and school was starting soon ... a couple of days later we were in the car driving to Colorado, we had a mutual friend in Boulder who we thought we could crash with. When we arrived, she wasn't there, so we drove aimlessly, camping off the side of the road, following rivers, climbing mountains, we had a blast... on the way back, entering...

Had great times at Macomb College in the Art Department where we met. 1974 through 1976 . John knew the history of Blues , Jazz , 60's rock and more . We had great times at Macomb College going to Concerts like Frank Zappa and more. Greatly Saddened. Just found out about it today . Carlo Vitale

I am saddend to hear this news. John was loved by our family, especially by my mother. I belive they were in Book Club together in her golden years. May your family find comfort by everyone who loved John and who will be sharing their stories about what a great man and friend he was to everyone he touched.
