Obituary

John's obituary appeared in The Hamilton Spectator this morning. John was suitably described - the opposites so true. Thanks for the collaborative effort of Kevin, Fred, Rob (I assume) and even possibly John himself. You can access the obit. at thespec.com., go to classified/deaths/his name/and check on the box for today's submissions.

Thanks Karen,

Rob and Kevin and I joined John's pals for a beer at John's usual haunt on Tuesday, the day that John passed away. Everyone has been contributing ideas on what to do and say and there have been lots of offers of help from all. We hope the obit captured a bit of who John was - we could have filled the whole paper with the things we have to say about John, but hope that snippet will do until we all have a chance to elaborate at the "services" here and there and also on this blog. I will also post the longer version of the obit. All the best to you, Mike and the family.

Bochsler Family Update

Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...

Some of Paul Bochsler's pictures

I took a million silly pictures, thank goodness some of y'all were taking the same shot and are better photographers, but here are a few from my camera's perspective. Gosh, I'm trying to upload a zillion of them and it only takes four at a time. Bear with me. Note the 'two Jacks', 'Peter, Paul & Mary', and the oldest and youngest of the cousins. Paul
