John Thomas Gollehon

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Linda (Gollehon) Oberle

In a few days it will be 5 years since you left us. In a way it seems like yesterday. Not a day goes by that I don´t think of you. So many times I come home from work and want to share with you how my day went but you aren´t here. You are so sadly missed!! Love you still today and always. Your loving wife, Kathy

I remember seeing John on the Travel channel. I bought his book The Confident Gambler in Las Vegas in 2002. I enjoyed his stories and his passion for gambling. I'm sorry that I didn't reach out sooner

Kathryn, I just pulled Johns book, Conquering Casino Craps, out of my books to give to a friend after I read it many times. I thought I would look up to see how he was doing or if he passed away. I'm sorry to see that he has passed on. I hope you and your family are doing well. I have recently lost my wife to cancer and can share your feelings.

I was sorry to see of John's passing.

I remember being a teenager and being in a band in High School. I was riding around the west side and discovered Gollehon Speaker Co. and was instantly excited.

Being a dorky kid I decided to check it out but never thought anyone would talk to me much but I was wrong.

I got to see some of the beautiful speaker work, and then out walks John who spoke to me as though we had know each other our whole lives.

He gave me the full...

I am saddened to hear about the passing of Mr. Gollehon. He certainly is a 'quiet' legend here in Las Vegas. His books, chock-full of golden wisdom is something I go over a lot that has incredibly helped me win games a whole lot more than lose! Every time I read one of his books, I feel like I'm listening to a father tell his son on what to do and what to look out for. My condolences to his entire family.

Mr. Gollehon, you re-shaped the way I look at casino games and your wisdom will...

Just saw his obituary. I first bought his no nonsense gambling books in the mid 80s. Really enjoyed reading his common sense approach to gambling...a his bits of humor kept it interesting. I passed the books to my son when he become of age...a classy guy who told it like it was. I will miss his new books. Jerry

Very sad news. John was a great authority on Vegas and he will be very much missed.

His books were full of great advice and personal experiences.

My condolences to his family.

I remember hiring and working with John "Shannon" at WGRD in the 60's. HE WAS NUMBER 1 in his mid-day shift. He was a great guy and had a lot to do with the success of Grand Rapids "fun one" My prayers to Kathy and the rest of John's family. 727-772-3659
