HAROLD BOGGS Obituary

April 19, 1918 - July 23, 2014 OKLAHOMA CITY Harold G. Boggs, a man with great character and courage from "The Greatest Generation", passed from this life on July 23, 2014. He was born on April 19, 1918 to Harold and Gertrude Boggs. Harold was a truly joyful and humble man who deeply loved God, his family, and his steel guitar. Harold played many luaus and delighted people with his Hawaiian music. He was preceded in death by his wife, Naomi and three brothers, twin-Paul, Richard and Charles. He is survived by one sister, Jane Hastings. He is also survived by three children: son, Dalton and wife Barbara Boggs of Edmond, OK; son, Paul Boggs of Oklahoma City; and daughter Marsha and husband Dan Vann of Edmond, OK. "Granddaddy" leaves his legacy with four beloved grandchildren: David and wife Gail Boggs of Louisville, KY, Jennifer and husband Bryan Morland of Dallas, TX, Emily and husband Ryan Baker of Edmond, OK and Natalie and husband Phil Brandenburg of Edmond, OK. Ten great-grandchildren also were blessed to know and love Harold as their special "Granddaddy." A small family service will be held Monday; however they request you visit ChapelHill-OKC.com to share your memories and messages. And as Harold would always say, "Don't say goodbye, say Aloha!" chapelhill-okc.com

He was such a gentle and kind man and that legacy has been left in all of you, his family. Marsha and Paul, your constant devotion to his health and well being was extraordinary. I know he is greeting everyone in heaven with a heartfelt " Aloha"! We all miss him. Blessings to all. Diane Timmerman

Sylvia and I were repeat customers for Mr. Boggs window tinting business. He was a happy man and a pleasure to be around. We enjoyed his hula and songs. Always completed each job to exceed expectations.

Aloha my dear sweet cousin Harold Jr. ~ I will always remember you with laughter. As children, you would have Debbie & I squealing with laughter when you would 'walk on your hands' we thought that this was the coolest thing & especially that OUR COUSIN could do this! ~ years later, we were just blown away with your music abilities. Years went by and I can't tell you how much it meant when I picked up the phone & you & Naomi were there with the best advice or just an ear...but you were always there. In our last phone call to wish you a Happy Birthday, I am so happy that our last words to each other were, I love you. I will miss you forever but am so proud to have had you as a cousin. Believe me, YOU were the best ~ My sincere condolences to Dalton, Marsha, Paul and all the family
A hui hou or goodbye, until we meet again.

I don't have to tell you what I thought about Harold, Naomi and of course, you three siblings. Just like family growing up together, going to Faith Tabernacle Assembly of God Church, eating out afterwards, going over to each other's homes for social entertainment. During my daily 45 minute walk in the neighborhood today, I tried to get in as much fond memories as I could of Harold through the years, including his loved ones. My parents (Carroll and Juanita) really loved Harold as well as Naomi. I would like to say you don't know what it meant to me personally for you to post those 56 photos in the gallery. Such fond memories. My prayers and condolences go out to you in this time of need. May God Bless!

We met your Dad over 20 years ago and invited him to come with us to play his guitar in some evening services at the City Rescue Mission. His music touched their hearts, as it did ours. Aloha Harold, we'll see you soon!

Barbara - your lovely gift is blooming still.

A beautiful tribute to Harold. He was a delight to be around. Dalton and Barbara, I'm so sad for your loss. Sincere prayers for you and your family. Much love to you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you on your loss. I remember when he was tinting our windows and he sang the whole time. What a delight!

I want to thank the very caring and skilled staff at the Heaven House where my dad most recently lived. I know he would like to give out a big Aloha! to all in the home and applaud the staff as he so often did on a regular basis.
And along with me and our family, I know Dad would like to thank all of you for making us feel at home.
