Boehler Family -

I would always see John and Shammy Whalen at the bowling lanes in Virden. We would sit on the bench outside and enjoy visiting. I am sure John and Shammy are having a good time visiting and swapping stories. Both John and Shammy were such good people.

I sure will miss John driving by and waving so big and stopping to chat. We had many good talks and he had the most contagious laugh. It already seems like a more lonely place without him. You guys are in our thoughts and prayers.

Jessica and family- I'm so sorry for your loss. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers during this time.

Justteen, Jim and all the family, So sorry for your loss. It's not easy to lose a loved one. I'm sure John and my father are raising cain together, and having a grand reuinon about now. They always were into something and loved to make everyone laugh .

Janey,Punky,and to the rest of your family. I am so very sorry for your loss.

I liked John. For perhaps an unusual reason. He acted as though he could just tolerate me. And I respected that. It was refreshing to be around someone who was so up-front.

Dad, I will always have my "little" girl memories, from McVey, in those two houses and the drive-in movies, with Jim and I in our pajamas! I hope Grandma and Grandpa are embracing you right now. RIP,Dad, Love, Justteen

Never knew anyone who could make you laugh and have a good time more than John. He will surely have heaven playing country music.
