LAWRENCE JOSEPH BOOS Lawrence Joseph Boos, of Atchison, Kansas, passed away peacefully surrounded by family at the age of 68. Lawrence, known to many as Larry, was born on October 18, 1956, to Clarence "Bud" Boos and Patricia "Pat" Boos, and was raised in Denton, Kansas. He attended Midway High School and went on to earn his bachelor's degree in business from Missouri Western State University. On June 3, 1988, he married the love of his life, Sheila Boos. Together, they built a life rooted in love, laughter, and family. Larry was a man who found joy in the simple thingscasting a fishing line on a quiet morning, camping under the stars, spending time in his garden, and cheering on his Kansas City Chiefs. He enjoyed the occasional trip to the casino and more than anything, treasured spending time with his family. His love of westerns was obvious from his collection of Stetsons, guns, and boots. He is survived by his devoted wife, Sheila Boos; his three children: daughter Abby Martin (Efrain), son Nicholas Boos, and daughter Lillian Paige Boos; and his six cherished grandchildren: Elijah Martin, Ean Martin, Alise Martin, Addalynn Martin, Lailie Duran, and Killian Hamilton.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Patricia Scherer; and in-laws Patrick & Lillian Hegarty, as well as Pat & Julie Hegarty, and Michael Hegarty.

I am sorry for your loss. When I was thinking about him after hearing the news, his big smile came to mind and I wondered if had ever appeared at my house as Santa Claus, elf or reindeer full of Christmas Spirits when I was a kid. You are in my prayers.
