John Arthur Bachlor

John Arthur Bachlor was born in Nowata April 2, 1947 and passed away during the holidays in 2024. His family would prefer to remember him as he was in life. He considered himself a shy person but could have a conversation with anyone, anytime. When asked, “How's it going” he always answered a hearty, “Fantastic”. He loved hearing and sharing stories with family, friends, & his Neighbors, often at the Depot Cafe or Bliss's Restaurant. His older brother, Ross Jr. often phoned and visited from Salulpa just to spend the day talking. His daughter, Jessica & son-in-law Brandon, spoke with him regularly on Sundays. Then they would get surprise calls throughout the week just checking in on how their day was going. Video chat was his favorite way to communicate because he could make his patented faces at you. We hope friends & family will smile today knowing that he always wished the best for them. Happy Birthday, Dad. We love you.
