Norman BOOTH Obituary
BOOTH, Norman C.
Norman C. Booth loving husband of Edith W. Booth (Williams) died peacefully at his home August 9th, 2011. Born on February 22, 1937, he was the son of the late Roland L. Booth and Lucille M. Booth. In addition to his wife of 54 years he is survived by his cherished family: Norman C. Booth Jr. and his wife Lynne of Portland, CT and their children Ryan, Kaitlyn, Colleen & Maureen; Steven W. Booth of Windsor Locks, CT and his children, Jessica, Seth, Shawn & Meghann; Brian L. Booth and his wife Susan of West Hartford, CT and their children Shannon and Erin; Patrick C.

He was employed by the State of CT for 35 years retiring as the Governors Representative for Highway Safety. Norm and his boys built a summer home "Booley Camp" in the Berkshires which we all have frequented and loved over the years. Norm shared his athletic talents and knowledge by coaching many youth sports in West Hartford, including Baseball, Basketball & Football. He was a member of the 1st Company Governors Foot guard for 40 years, where he made lifelong friendships. Norm was also an avid golfer who enjoyed many early tee times at Rockledge Golf Club with his fellow golfers. He perfected his game during the winter months as a member of the Jekyll Island Men's Golf Association on Jekyll Island, GA. Norm was a true gentleman whose great sense of humor and kind heart endeared him to many. He leaves a legacy of family, friendships & laughter that will not be soon forgotten.
