John was born in Detroit, MI to John and Mary Bozoky who both immigrated from 
Hungary and Czechoslovakia. After high school he took business classes while 
working at Ford Motor Company. During the war, he came to California and was 
stationed at McClellan AFB and Minter Field working as a repair specialist on 
airplanes. 

He started working in a rented garage while learning through trial and error 
how to upholster car interiors. He eventually built and opened Specialty Trim 
and Awning Co. in 1945. Business expanded to boat covers, tarps and specialty 
oilfield accessories. He sold the business in 1979 and eventually moved to 
Paradise, California in 1983.

In 1946, he met and married Vera Angeroth of Council Bluffs, Iowa. They were 
married 56 years until her passing in December 2002.

He was affiliated with Toastmasters International for many years and was 
governor of District 12 in 1961. He was also active in the Paradise Owners 
Association in Magalia, California. He loved to go hunting with his cousin 
Hank Vineze in Oregon and enjoyed living out his life in the mountains of 
Paradise.

He is survived by two daughters, Linda Pearson and Husband Mickey, Mary Beth 
Weimer and husband Bob of Pekin, Illinois, four grandchildren, Traci Bramlett 
and husband Bobby, Eric Pearson, both of Bakersfield, Brian Duke and Jason 
Duke of Pekin, Illinois and a great-grandchild, Cole Bramlett of Bakersfield.
