It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our dear friend and fellow board member, John Bolger.

John was a valued member of the Whitefish Bay Civic Foundation, generously giving his time, energy, and talents to help make our community a better place. His commitment to Whitefish Bay and the people who call it home was evident in the way he showed up, served, and gave back.

Beyond his contributions to the Foundation, John will be remembered for the warmth, kindness, and friendship he brought to those around him. We are grateful to have known and worked alongside him, and we will deeply miss his presence on our board and in our community.

Our hearts are with John’s wife, Kerry, his three sons, and his entire family and circle of friends during this incredibly difficult time.

John’s legacy of service and love for his community will not be forgotten. We are honored to remember him as a friend, colleague, and fellow Civic Foundation volunteer.

Please join us in keeping the Bolger family in your thoughts and prayers.

View John Michael Bolger's obituary, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.
