Not sure what to say?

You were definitely an original. I learned a lot from you, and you gave me some advice that really helped me out. I will never forget it or you.

Johnny Bopper. I had so much fun at the Bop Stop. He was one of a kind , the original energizer bunny. Won't ever forget ya. Hub

So sorry to hear of Johns passing

I loved going into the Bop Stop, it was like stepping into a wizard´s den. Seems like I would go in to get a record and 3 hours would fly by... When I was getting ready to move out west, I took my record collection in and traded the entire collection to John for a copy of "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road". I am going to listen to that CD and remember you John. Thanks for everything John. Rest in Peace.

One of a kind. I'm glad we were friends (over 40 years) because there was never a dull moment with John. Ton's of laughs and stories. He will be missed.

God Bless You Johnny, and your whole Family, especially your daughters that you always talked about, great obit and photo...Love you all

My heart skipped a beat when I saw Johns name. We went to Portage Northern HS. He graduated in 1973 and myself '74. We were in some of the same classes. Back then I really didn't care what I wore to school. One day he asked me why did I ware the same thing all the time. Jeans, jeans and jeans. I still remember that to this day. RIP John.
