Mr. Boehm owned and operated his own Mac Tool distributorship for thirteen years until 1980 when he began employment with the New York State Dept. of Transportation as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic. He retired from the Dept. of Transportation in 2002.
An avid music lover, he played the trombone in many bands over the years including the Southern Dutchess Pops, Rhinebeck Legion Band, Saugerties Community Band, Dutchess County Council Band, and F. D. Roosevelt High School Alumni Band.
Ron also loved animals and enjoyed spending time in his gardens. He had his private pilot’s license and loved flying his plane “Hotel Victor.” He and Ann had many great adventures whether far from home or just around the Hudson Valley.
Born in the Bronx on February 4, 1940, he was the son of the late Karl and Beatrix King Boehm. He was a 1958 Graduate of F.D.R. High School in Hyde Park and veteran of the United States Air Force.
On September 7, 1963 in Our Lady of Fatima Church in Plattekill, NY, he married Ann Porcaro. Mrs. Boehm survives at home.
