Born December 30,
1937 at home in Great Bend, a son of Clayton &
Florence (Bast) Boshart. He attended local school until he was ten years
old and then went to Rome State School where he learned according to his
abilities and was taught a trade.
Richard worked
for 14 years at the House of the Good Samaritan in Watertown in
housekeeping. He was very well liked by his supervisors, who often
commented about what a good worker he was. He had worked under the ARC
program in Turin and Lowville, doing a variety of jobs until his death.
Richard had been a very conscientious worker and took great pride in his
jobs.
His family was
very important to him. Richard was very proud to be an uncle to his nieces
and nephews. Spending time with his family at get-togethers and holiday
events were his favorite moments.
Richard enjoyed setting up his own miniature golf course and spent
hours playing golf. He also enjoyed cross-country skiing and taking
pictures. In the past, Richard had two dogs, Dusty and Pepper. He had been
able to experience many wonderful outings and special events with his ARC
friends and staff. He has been such
a special member of our family and will be greatly missed.
Richard was an
active member of First
Mennonite Church, New Bremen. His church family was also very important to him and he enjoyed greeting his church friends and
family with a hearty handshake. Richard was a dedicated Christian and
faithfully had a devotional time with God, reading his Bible and taking
notes.
Richard’s family
would like to express their deep appreciation for all the people in the ARC
who have touched his life in such positive ways through the years. They are
also his family.
