- Obiturary, Theodore V Bohachek
Theodore V Bohachek (Ted) shed his earthly bonds May 18, 2026 after several years struggling with Parkinsons Disease. He was born on February 27, 1931 in Dayton Ohio where his family had settled in 1928. In spite of the looming depression, they opened a successful wholesale and retail plumbing, heating and electrical supply business. While attending Fairmont High School, Ted, at age 14, was granted a special driver's license to drive to school and the store where his knowledge of business and construction began.
After he attended Denison University for 2 years, Uncle Sam invited him to spend two years in the United States Army, thirteen months of which were spent in Korea. Upon his discharge he enrolled in the Ohio State University School of Business. His first day on campus he met his future bride. On June 12, 1955 he married Ann Slossnagel who survives him.
Their love of boating led him to become a member of the Dayton Power Squadron where he earned a life membership serving on their Bridge as officer, instructor and as Commander in 1980 and 1981,
Upon his retirement from the family business, he and Ann became RVers and after seeing all of the contiguous 48, became Florida snowbirds, finally settling in Sun City Center in 2001 where he further developed his love of painting, woodworking and woodcarving, winning several honors at the Florida State Fair and elsewhere.
Besides wife, Ann, he is survived by their daughter, Lynn Tuomenoksa (David), grandsons Ryan and Matthew , three great grandchildren and many loving nephews, nieces, cousins and friends who thought the world of him. He is predeceased by his parents, Earl L Bohachek Sr. and Jeannette L VanAusdale and son, Bruce Theodore Bohachek.
Anyone wishing to make a contribution in his honor might consider LifePath Hospice, Sun City Center Emergency Squad or the Freedom Plaza Scholarship Fund.
