FR Boes spent 17 years of his retirement in Rockwell City, & was loved by all that he touched through those years! He gave many hours of service to our parish & surrounding ones. He was a gentle, kind soul, always with a smile, never complaining through his long battle with his illness. He is deeply missed!!
