I am 75 years old. I met Dr Boarini when I was 18. My father had never believed in dentists so we never went. At 18 I had a job with insurance and Dr Boarini was the first dentist I ever saw. He treated me with tenderness and compassion. I ended up with him restoring my teeth with four bridges. He told me I would have them until the day I died, and after over fifty years I still do. Dentists, since I moved out of state, have remarked at the outstanding work that he did on my teeth. I have not had one cavity since my teens. I followed him to Antioch. He cleaned my teeth and taught me how to care for them. I just looked for him today and found this obituary. He loved his family and always talked about them when I visited. I am sorry to hear of your loss. I remember him with love and appreciation.

It is with deep sadness that I learned of the passing of Dr. Boarini. I am one of 6 children of the Lester family... we were patients of his when he practiced in Jefferson Park in Chicago. After just one painful dental experience for myself and 3 older siblings, my mother found Dr. Boarini and we never again had to be afraid to go to the dentist. He was kind, caring and generous, allowing my Mom to make payments for our dental care when she could. What a legacy he leaves behind. I am proud and feel truly blessed to have known him.

In 30 years I cannot recall ever seeing anything but a smile on Jack's face. Such a warm, friendly, and wonderful guy. His Spirit is smiling now, alive and well in the hearts of his Family and of all of those he touched in 84 years.
