Robert Booth Obituary
November 8, 1951 - December 15, 2019
It is with the greatest sadness that the family of Robert F. Booth announces his passing on December 15, 2019 at the age of 68.
He was one of five siblings to the late Robert and Barbara Booth. Born on November 8, 1951 in Cheltenham Gloucestershire, England.
Bob served in the U.S. Army's First Division as a Corporal. He retired from Yellow Freight trucking after working as a mechanic for 25 years. Always looking to help others, he continued to work with Rolling V Bus Corporation in Ellenville, NY ensuring the safe transit of children.
Survivors include the love of his life, his wife of 48 years, Theresa Booth; his two sons, whom he was so proud of, Lieutenant Colonel James (his wife Eileen) and Captain Peter (his wife Mandy) Booth, his siblings, Veann (Joe) Hansen, Frank (Donna) and George (Mary) Booth. He also leaves behind to cherish his memory, all of his beautiful grandchildren, who he adored so much: Hunter, Logan, Amber, Sarah, Noah, and Emma. He was predeceased by his brother Corporal Tracy Booth.
Bob would want us to find comfort in knowing he is free from pain and is home. Bob was an extraordinary man; he was full of life, love and compassion. In honor of his wishes, there will be no visitations.

Very sad to read Bob has passed on. Bob helped me cope back in 1967 on my first day at Goshen Central School as a transfer student from Monroe. Quick to extend friendship Bob helped me feel at home on that crowded first bus ride with helpful conversation. I will always be grateful for his openness as it helped relieve a kid's tremendous anxiety on that first day. Bob and Kenny McKeever two guys I will never forget. Thank you Bob.
