John O. Bosworth

I met Johnny when I was 3 and he came to our house with Corky, his first wife. He and my Dad, Tuck Asbury, were life long friends having lived across the street from each other in Cincinnati when they were boys. Over the years Johnny would visit us and sing beautiful ballads like Moon River, and play pool with us. My sisters and I were impressed that he brought his own cue stick! Johnny's visits were always a high point of the Christmas holidays. When I was 17 Johnny hosted my father and me...

John Bosworth was one of my main contacts at my largest account at the time, Revlon. Oh my goodness he was tough, yet became my mentor/professor, who I learned so much from regarding the technical aspects of production, the pursuit of excellence and myself as I was developing my professional career. GOD bless you my dear friend, through eternity.

I worked with John at Revlon. His office was legend- papers piled feet high, all ready to spill on the floor! But John knew exactly where everything was and could dig around and get anything you asked for. He was amazing and a truly unique genius. It was a privilege to have worked with him.

I simply owe a great deal to John Bosworth. As difficult as he could be, John was a great teacher. During my early days in the beauty industry, I was exposed to John's professionalism on nearly a daily basis. During this time I grew as a packaging professional and understood the importance of excellence largely because of this relationship.
After losing touch for many years, we reconnected and oh my God he was still the same!
Rest well my dear friend and see if you can perfect heaven...

John was the closest I've ever come to working with a genius. His creative energy and artistic standards were so far above most peoples that he truly stood alone.
And yet he was the warmest, kindest person you could want in your life. I will truly miss him. My sympathy goes to Edna and his family and friends for this great loss.

My sincere condolences to Edna and to all who will miss John.

John was the first client that I called on back in 1968 and, to this day, use the lessons that he taught me.

John was, and always will be an inspiration to me - Every action that was ever undertaken by John was with 110% energy and commitment - To John, there were no shortcuts to perfection - nothing was left to chance - He insisted on everyone involved to be at the top of their game with him - that covered Revlon projects, playing tennis, music, cards, billiards, and even drag-racing with him up the West Side Highway !!
He will be missed enormously by anyone he ever touched - A fitting comment...
