My father Daniel DiPierro worked for H.C. Bohack Co. for almost 30 years, starting after WWII in Eastern Long Island first as a Produce Manager (Rocky Point), eventually Store Manager (Port Jefferson Station) and then in the mid-60′s he became a District Manager (Bethpage/Port Washington as well as many other locations)…he remained with Bohack until the very end, and even worked at one of the last remaining locations after they went under…my brother, sister and I also worked part-time in Bohack stores during summer vacations during high-school (in Shirley, Setauket, Ronkonkoma)…Daniel DiPierro Jr.
Daniel, there is an edit button, it's there for a purpose.
No need to make 3 different consecutive posts.
My first job when I was 16 was at a supermarket in Elmhurst, Queens
back in 1986, it was a Shopwell that used to be a Bohack which I would
have never known if I hadn't been told by a long time employee over there.
...My father worked in the one in Pt Jeff Sta when it opened in the mid-50s until its demise in the early 70s.....then transferred to the village in Rocky Pt. until its demise.....I know my uncle used to work in the one in Rocky Pt. in the 40s and 50s when it was located on Broadway.............

the world does not end because he made 3 posts,2 were completely different,I am sure you meant nothing harsh,but on a computer it just sounds nasty,give people a break,not everyone of us is savy with these things,Daniel had some insightful things to say,that should be what you got out of it,atleast that is how I feel,no disrespect intended.
I remember Bohack's. There was one on Jamaica Avenue and 102nd Street in Richmond Hill. There was also a Davies (sp?) chocolate/candy store on the same block. I think Bohack's was gone before Davies.
But y'know if you really want to get into it, does anybody remember "Billy Blake" and "TSS" stores?
