To all the Bohmers:
I can only add to what my brother, Tim, wrote. We have many fond memories of Uncle Francis- both in NY and New England. We still remember the beautiful solos he sang at our Dad, Ralph's, funeral. May our Lord give all of you peace and comfort in the days ahead.

Jan 1.10 from Ray San Fratello:
Mrs. Bohmer - You probably don't remember me but your husband had built new lifeguard stations for me way back in the 80s when I ran the City of Batavia's outdoor pool. He also helped me and an old mason by the name of Bob Beesley on a few projects.
Both of these men were of great significance in my life for their kindness, work ethic, sense of humor, and values. I was sorry to see that Mister B has passed.
I now live with my family down in the Orlando area so if it weren't for the internet I would have missed this.
Take care. You and your husband are in my prayers and I will carry fond memories of our work together.

I can only imagine the great rejoicing Francis has as he now sees His Savior face-to-face. His love for Jesus burned so brightly that it must surely be a most awesome sight to behold! May the Lord fill the empty spot in your lives that he leaves with His comfort and grace.
