John Bogle Obituary

John Wesley Bogle, 84, peacefully went to his heavenly home from the comfort of his earthly home on April 18, 2019. Born in Seymour, Iowa, John was a 1959 graduate of Annapolis Naval Academy, where he served aboard the USS Intrepid. An adventurist at heart, he loved to travel and shared stories with everyone. He never met a stranger, and always said that old women, babies, and dogs liked him. He was a genius and a gentleman, with a sharp wit and great sense of humor. He smiled much, much more than he frowned, whether at home or at work. He was employed by Raytheon working on the Mercury Space Program; owned his own business, Steam Services, working on the Mississippi River; and drove "hot-shot" runs every chance he had. He leaves behind his wife of 41 years, Linda Dawkins Bogle, and quite a legacy of seven children: Lisa (Charles) Kelly, James (Sayeh) Bogle, Suzie (Glenn) Cristodero, David (Michelle) Bogle, Kenneth (Christa) Bogle, Matthew (Paige) Holliday, and Daniel (Dana) Holliday. He also has 17 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. After he raised his children, God sent a new constant companion in the form of a fur-angel he named Ponder, who is now staying at Linda's side. A celebration of Mr. Bogle's life will be held at Garden of Memories Funeral Home in Metairie, LA on Wednesday, April 24, 2019 from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm followed by a Methodist service. Interment will be in Garden of Memories Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in John's name be made to his childhood church, The Salvation Army, https://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/ as no Methodist churches were near them at the time. The online guestbook is available at www.gardenofmemoriesmetairie.com.

Linda and family, you are all in my prayers for God's peace and comfort as you adjust to life without John here on earth. I have so many fond memories of you and John while we were all at Kenner UMC. John was such a fine man, and it was obvious he loved God and loved you all. Glenn and I and our children enjoyed so much getting to know all of you in our years together at the church in Kenner. Glenn thought highly of John, and I am sure they are catching up with each other and with Ernie and Jean and other dear friends from our Kenner church family who have moved on to heaven. Much love and many hugs to you all. You will remain in my prayers. Mary Sandlin

John was a good and faithful servant of God and he will be missed. I loved the whole Bogle Family and have treasured memories of being a Sunday School Teacher or Youth Leader to many of his Children. He and Linda had a beautiful marriage and their love for each other was evident to all who met them. He will be greatly Missed but as a True and Faithful Servant of our Lord he has only left us for a short time and he is waiting to greet all his family and friends at his new home. What a Blessing he had to have spent this Easter with our Lord and Savior. He is receiving his Blessings now for a Life well Lived. All my Love to Linda and the Family. Remember the Good Times and the Love he had for all of you.
