Obituary
Age 59, passed away on Wednesday, June 5, 2019 at the University of Michigan Medical Center. He was born in Battle Creek, Michigan on September 11, 1959 to Roger E. and Yuvon (Milthaler) Boomershine. Bob graduated from Galesburg-Augusta High School and has lived in the Galesburg area his entire life. After attending college, Bob set off his career in real estate investing. He enjoyed buying and selling properties for many years. On June 5, 1998, he married Lori Black and they most recently honored their 21st year of marriage. There are many things that Bob will be remembered for, but the most important were his children and grandchildren. As a devoted husband, father and grandfather, nothing was more important than his family. He cherished his children and grandchildren and loved to teach them magic tricks. He was preceded in death by his loving parents and a brother in law, Lloyd Hirth. He will be dearly missed by his wife, Lori and his children: Riley (Jocelyn Case) Boomershine; Robert (Nicole) Boomershine and Reagan (Adrian Sotelo) Reynolds; his step children, Nicholas Haas, Aaron (Tiphanie) Haas and Joshua Haas and his beloved grandchildren: Cohen, Callum and Macklen Boomershine and Perpetua and Selah Haas. He also leaves to cherish his memory his siblings, Roy (Carla) Boomershine of Springfield, Ohio; Jerrie (Lynn) Homan of Marystown, Newfoundland; Diane (Clifford) Lipscomb of Climax, Michigan; Marjorie Hirth of Jackson, Michigan; Nancy (Mike) Mueller of Galesburg, Michigan; Ronald (Julie) Boomershine of Schoolcraft, Michigan; Barbara (Scott) Belland of Galesburg, Michigan, along with many nieces, nephews and extended family.
Lori, We are sorry to hear about Bob’s passing. Our memories go back many years. I (Bill) especially remember our Sunday School class in the hallaway at the church on 29th Street. May God give you peace through your memories. B&J
So sorry.
My condolences to the family in this sad loss of Bob. I remember him from high school as we graduated the same year. I always thought much of Bob. He was a kind person, easily approachable and never in a rush that he didn’t take time to make you feel important. Prayers to all!
I remember 1991-1992. Bob was delivering for some Linen company, Uniforms, rugs, mats. He drive a panel van and would call me at work and say ‘Can we get lunch?” I was working at Mickle and Co Insurance on 5000 Portage Road and we’d sit in a parking lot in my vehicle or his delivery van and eat sandwiches we brought from home. Bob was going through a deep hard valley, but he always wanted to chat and connect. And he always had that little laugh when I asked him how he was doing. I moved away to Maranatha in August 1992 and we lost touch. Then I heard he married Lori, that beautiful daughter of our friends Jim and Carol.
