Richard Bohs Obituary
Richard G. “Rick” Bohs, age 75, of Newtown Square, PA, passed away on April 10, 2025.
Born in Drexel Hill, PA in 1949, he was the son of the late George L. and Dorothy Rose (nee Smith) Bohs. He was a proud graduate of Monsignor Bonner High School (1967) and LaSalle University (1971). After teaching at Cardinal O’Hara High School for a few years, Rick pursued a career in the magazine business working as Director of Distribution and Sales for Kable News. Retirement allowed him time to share his lifelong passion for music as a DJ with 107.9 WEES Radio where he was known as “the Doctor” of Rock. He was an avid fan of the Eagles and all Philadelphia sports teams.
Richard was the beloved husband of Katherine E. (nee Magiorkinos) Bohs; loving father of Elice D. Manzi (Sal); caring grandfather of Jackie Reilly (Patrick) and Nicholas Manzi; dear brother of the late Kenneth G. Bohs (Diane), Maribeth “Betsy” Wechsler (Bill), Lee Bohs (Eileen), Dorrie Gregoire (Tom), Donna M. Bohs, Mark J. Bohs (Virginia), and the late Baby Michael Bohs; also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.
