In Celebration of

Richard Boggs

January 10, 1927 -  June 20, 2017

Peacefully, at home, on Tuesday, June 20, 2017, at the age of 90. Loving father of Kathy Reid (Robert), Danny, Jennifer, and the late Frank and Ann. Cherished grandfather of Evan, Kaley, Tory, Stuart, Connor, Catherine and great grandfather of Caleb and Finley and dear friend of Bridget.
A graduate of Michigan State University, he served in the U.S Navy in WW II. He was fiercely proud of his career as a VP at Carlton Cards for 35 years. He built the beloved Boggs family cottage on Gull Lake, but his proudest accomplishment was his family. Innovator, Thoughtful, Honest, Lion-hearted.
Friends may call at the Turner & Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor St. W., at Windermere, east of the Jane subway, on Monday June 26, 2017 at 10am with an 11am service.

As I write this, tears fall because he was my sweet beloved uncle! I cherish the fact that I got to spend 2 weeks with him and my aunt and my cousins as a child! Those are memories that I love! Thank you Uncle Dick for loving me like u did!!!

My dear Uncle Dick will be greatly missed. Just an Indiana farm boy at heart in my mind. Unpretentious and heart of gold. Loved you more than you'll ever know. Your with your brothers and sisters now......say hi to mom.

I had a Dad
Wish I had him still
He was my rock
I inherit his will
Though I fall far short
Of his finest charms
I’m left bereft
I long for his arms

I knew Mr. Boggs through my friendship wth his daughter Jennifer. He had the kind of father daughter relationship that I admired and looked up to as he was such a loving and present Dad in Jennifer's life. What a full and rich 90 years he lived. Sending my sympathy and thoughts to the entire family a this very sad time. With sympathy, Maura Richardson
