Marlene and Mark I was so sorry to hear of John’s passing. He was such a wonderful person, they do not make gentlemen like him anymore. I loved all the stories he would tell me about my family, and growing up in Provident. He was always like a grandparent in the stands cheering me on when I played basketball in school. John will be deeply missed by many.
Mark and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss and grieving. May you rejoice in your Fathers life and his memories. God bless.
I was blessed to know and have in my life a loving, caring, and kind GREAT uncle. May you rest in peace. I truly believe that you and my mom will be taking good care of each other. Aunt Marlene and Mark, I love you both very much and you are both in my prayers.
To Mark, and his Mother and entire Bukmir family. My prayers I send at this very sad time in your lives. John will dwell in God’s Kingdom now and watch over you. I feel Blessed to have known Mr. John Bukmir. I will miss him dearly, like so many other’s.
Mark,
My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family at this difficult time.
Keeping you in my prayers each day.

I have know John my whole life. I was one of the alter boys at Marlene’s and Johns wedding. I worked with him a K’s market where he was a meat cutter. Was a fellow knight also.
He has served the community and will truly be missed.

John was a notable classmate for St J 1953. May God bless the Bukmir family.
John always had kind words,
always helping hands;
he was truly a wonderful neighbor,
and the Lord has taken him in His arms.
God bless you, Marlene and Mark.
Mark, I was so sorry to hear about your father’s passing. He was a very nice man, a gentleman. My mother always liked to talk to him when she shopped at Riesbeck’s. Let me know if I can do anything for you or if you want to talk. It’s hard losing a parent, especially when you’re an only child like us.
