William Boos Obituary
Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on September 11, 1942, to Karl and Rose Boos, Bill lived a full and faith-filled life dedicated to family, service, and community.
Bill was the loving husband of Sandra (Sandy) Boos for 64 years, and the proud father of three children: Todd (Susan) Boos of Grafton, WI; Michele (Patrick) Nettesheim of Germany; and Denise (Perry) Snoeyenbos of Wausau, WI.
Bill loved the outdoors - especially fishing and boating - and he shared that passion through the Sarasota Power & Sail Squadron, where he served as Commander and taught boater safety courses well into his 80s. His expertise allowed Bill and Sandy to enjoy many trips with his boat.
Known for his warm hugs, quick smile, and generous spirit, Bill lived his faith daily and was truly a disciple until the end. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him as he touched countless lives with his kindness, humor, compassion, wisdom, and unwavering faith.
There will be a Celebration of Life at Lakeside Lutheran Church, 2401 S. Tamiami Trail, Venice FL 34293 on November 1st, 2025 at 11:30am.

Sandy and Family,
We extend to you, our deepest sympathies for Bill´s passing. Bill was a dear friend, coworker and "brother". We have been dearest friends for over 44 years. We worked, golfed, enjoyed the hot tub, watched Packer games, vacationed and ate dinners together. Even our grandkids grew up together. We have included some of the photos of Bill´s life as we shared them at his retirement party from Marathon Electric. Bill loved his corvettes, but they were always a red flag for traffic cops. Bill deeply loved Sandy, his family, his friends & his dogs and gave all he had for us. But most of all, Bill loved and served Jesus and is now with him in heaven. We will all miss him dearly.
With Deepest Sympathy
