John Bukala Obituary
John was a U.S. Navy Veteran and a proud and longtime member of IATSE Locals 27 & 209. He was the head carpenter of The Cleveland San Jose Ballet and built and toured their productions. He toured for many years with The Radio City Rockettes Christmas Spectacular. He also worked countless broadway shows at Playhouse Square, built sets for the Cleveland Orchestra and movies filmed in Cleveland most notably A Christmas Story and many more. John loved building and being a stagehand. He lived hard and loved harder. His smile and humor will live on in those he touched.
