Ranko Michael Bohnke 13 July 1945 – 25 April 2025
CONTRIBUTE
TO MEMORY TIMELINE
To my old mate I will miss you more than you will ever know. We had some great times camping and fishing together. Love you mate. Rest In Peace.
We fondly remember a fun to be with, loving,caring and humble man. Rankos football days for Riverside Stars showcased his amazing courage which he carried forward the rest of his life. He is a legend to all who played with or against him. Condolences to Kaylene and family.
Ranko was the guy you would wish for next to you in the trenches. We met as rivals on the footy field 50 years ago and became great mates.He was as tough as nails when needed but a loving and caring man who enriched our lives. One of life’s characters who will be missed and fondly remembered by many. Off into the back pocket mate for a well deserved rest. Love and respect Bob Orth
Ranko was admired and respected by all of us fortunate enough to cross his path. I am now 90 and have met thousands of people, none more courageous than Ranko. RIP Champ ! John Jacobson (posted by Jim)
Dear Kaylene, dear Nicole, dear Dale and Warren, We are thinking of you and mourning with you. Ranko will always remain in our hearts. We are very happy to have recently spent a few wonderful days with him. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Kaylene and family. Caren and Werner (from afar)
