Erving Louis Boeger passed on with prayers, to eternal life, December 23, 2011. He was born August 21, 1919, in Santa Clara, California. His parents were Moritz Boeger and Pauline Boeger. His father, Moritz Boeger was one of twelve children along with their mother who arrived in America in the late 1800's. It may be that Erving is the last of the children of the original twelve that settled in the Bay Area and the Santa Clara Valley. The next generations carry on.
Erving in his younger years lived in the warmth of the Santa Clara Valley, until he was called to duty in World War II, in Europe. His service began in Normandy through France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the beginnings of the Battle of the Bulge where he was taken prisoner.
After the war was over, he returned to the Santa Clara Valley and began living his life as a farmer. He met his wife, Mary Ann, in San Jose, California. They were married in 1949 and moved to Gridley, California where Erving began farming rice.
Erving was a hard worker. He was a strong provider and support for his family. He enjoyed the outdoors with the dogs, mules and chickens. He was always interested in young people and the new generations of the Boeger family.
Erving was a member of the Master Trail Riders for 45 years. Riding his mules was his form of relaxation. He was also a member of the Veteran of Foreign Wars, The Moose Lodge, Battle of the Bulge 28th Infantry Division, Butte County Historical Society, Gridley Museum and St. Timothy's Episcopal Church.
Survivors include his wife of 62 years, Mary Ann Boeger, of Gridley, California, his son Kurt Erving Boeger and wife Debbie Boeger, of Yuba City, California, his daughter Kristi Dahl Boeger, of Gridley, California, and his grandson, Rhett Erving Boeger, of Livermore, California.
Memorial Service in his honor will be at St. Timothy's Episcopal Church, 410 Jackson Street, Gridley, California, on January 27, 2012, at 11 a.m.
Memorial contributions can be made in Erving's name to Wounded Warriors Project, National Processing Center, P.O. Box 758516, Topeka, Kansas 66675-8516, or a charity of your choice.
