A true Eastern Shoreman, Mr. Boole’s life revolved around the water. In his younger years he worked as a waterman, and later, owned and operated Jack’s Marine, becoming well known for his talent in repairing any outboard motor. Mr. Boole never missed an opportunity to go fishing, whether inland or offshore, and always looked forward to duck hunting season. He was a cat lover and had a special bond with his kitty, “Skamper,” who was always by his side.

Boole Jr., and Makalia Boole; step-granddaughter, Nicole Lovell; great-grandchildren, Shane Williams and Lucas, Kyle, and Cameran Ross; step-great-grandchildren, Johnny and Kate Wiley; niece, Courtney Williams; nephew, Donnie Lee Williams; Robin and Robert Tyree, who called him granddaddy and always put a smile on his face; and dear friend and fishing buddy, Gene Crockett. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by a sister, Ida Marie Janiszewski.

A memorial service will be held at the Williams-Onancock Funeral Home Friday, Oct. 18, 2019, at 11 a.m., with the Rev. Robert Fletcher officiating.
