He is survived by his wife, Joyce “Jo” Walters; brothers, David Walters (Gerie) of Virginia and Tim Walters (Debbie) of Georgia; sister, Hettie Self (Clyde) of Morris, Alabama; special friend, Betty Yeager of Odenville, Alabama; and several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. The family wishes to thank Lakeside Hospice and their sweet nurses, and all his wonderful friends and family for their support.
Boogar loved people, whether grilling for them or making them laugh. He was generous, loving, had a wonderful zest for life, and he will be greatly missed.
A Memorial Service will be announced at a later date.
