Dear Mr. Bohan,

I never got the chance to meet you, but I know you through your son Thom. We shared many loving and laughing stories about our fathers and the marvelous example both of you are to each succeeding generation. Rest in eternal glory with our Savior. Keep Heavan hopping until we all meet up there.

Your family is blessed with your life and legacy.

Dear Cousins,

We're so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear dad, the last of that generation of Bohan siblings. I'll always remember him as a kind, quiet and truly gentle man. Our grandparents must have really been something to raise the great group of kids they did. And, our parents worked to do the same--let's keep it going.



Love, Mick

Dear Dad,

Thanks for always being "there" for me and all of us kids both immediate and grand. You were always tenacious for all of us, always providing for your family, and always doing what Mom said! (asked?). And thanks for setting such a good example and loving all or us with all you had, in your own special way.

Love ya back,

Thom

It's been said that a life's worth is measured by how much one is loved. We have witnessed over the years how much caring and love surrounded Tom Bohan from friends, children and grandchildren. Tom was the patriarch of a wonderful family in which we have been made to feel welcome on many occasions. We share in the sorrow of his loss.

Grandpa,

The endless hours you spent watching your sports games, I dont think I ever once watched you not do the renowned 'Bohan Nod'. But after the games were over, you always had an interesting story of you and Grandma back in the day. Thanks for sharing.

Dear Bohan Family,

We will always remember "Grandpa" in our hearts. I am so glad I was able to enjoy Tom for all these years. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful man with my children and I. You have such great memories of Grandpa to keep with you. Love to you all. Rese and the girls.

Dad, thanks for all the support and love you gave me as a child, young adult and even into my adult years. I could always count on you to put things in perspective. We are all very grateful for your humor and patience.

I love you.
