John F. Bolamperti, D.D.S.
January 30, 1938 – August 16, 2023
Dr. John F. Bolamperti, age 85, passed away on August 16, 2023, in Gunnison, CO. He was born on January 30, 1938, in Omaha, NE, to Richard and Palma (Cortese) Bolamperti, the third of five children.
John married Mary Jane Cronin of Webster City, IA , on August 29, 1959. He graduated from Creighton University in 1961 and Creighton University School of Dentistry in 1964. An exceptionally gifted dentist, John practiced in Omaha for 40 years, retiring in 2006. He was a lifelong resident of Omaha, while spending summers in Gunnison, CO, for the past 25 years.
Fiercely devoted to his faith, family and friends, he was second to none as a grandfather, father and husband. He cherished spending precious time with his family, hunting and fishing, and creating fabulous meals. His sense of humor was legendary. John was intelligent, successful, generous, humble, hardworking and funny. He was always a pleasure to be with and he was blessed with an immense talent for making everyone feel like they were important to him.
His wisdom and advice are irreplaceable. John lived a full, happy life. He was loved by many and the world is a little less joyful without him. He will be missed.

Bolamperti (Crystal), Matt Bolamperti (Mary), Christine Schmidt (Jack), Jill Corbett (Kevin); ten grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; brothers: Richard, Ted and Terry Bolamperti; brother-in-law, Jess Wills; numerous nieces and nephews and too many friends to count.

Alan and Cheri, we sincerely appreciate the kind words and support for our family. Thank you.
Whoever wrote Budsy’s obituary described him to a tee. He always made me feel welcomed and important to him. He was our first baseball coach as we were growing up. Most of us kids attended St. Philomena grade school so we were named The Phil’s.
Rest my friend. You certainly deserve the best that heaven has to offer.
Michael, thanks for the kind words and support for our family. We sincerely appreciate it.

I knew John to be a very kind and considerate man. Even in the days following my father-in-law’s (and his longtime friend’s) passing, he made an effort to comfort my wife and I through stories and laughter. Always welcoming and eager to connect, whether you were an old friend or new one. God bless his soul and love to The Bolamperti Family.

Judy, thank you for sharing your memories of John with us. We appreciate receiving your kind words and support for our family.
I’m so sad to hear about John’s passing. I have so many good memories of neighborhood block parties on Tipperary and the shenanigans my dad and John got into. He was a wonderful, kind man and a great dentist. He will be missed and always remembered fondly.
Sarah, thank you for sharing your neighborhood memories of John with us. We appreciate receiving your kind words and support for our family.
I am sorry to hear about the passing of Dr. Bolamperti. He was my dentist for years. He was very caring, skilled and at times funny.
man. During one of my appointments with him he went to use the landline phone several times yelling a bit at the person on the phone. I found out that he was arguing with his friend, Bob Carlson who owned Mr. Kelly’s Restaurant about making the perfect Italian sausage. You had to be there to listen to the occasional loud funny Italian words and guess what he meant. I love the photo you chose for the website because knowing how he loved the retirement life he was living.made me happy because he deserved this time. May God be with you and your family. For sure God has received your father,
