Howard Dwayne Boos

Howard Dwayne Boos passed away on Friday, April 17, 2020 in Fresno with his family by his side after an 18 month battle with cancer. Howard was born on April 10, 1936 to Leo and Emily Boos in Fresno, California. He was preceded in death by his wife Barbara, his brother Gerald, his son-in-law Thomas Wash, and his granddaughter Emily Forbes. He relocated to Hanford 15 years ago after living in Fresno for many years. He worked for AT&T for 40+ years as a technical manager. In his early years, Howard was actively involved in both the Kings County Sheriff’s Posse (53 year member) and the U.S. Marshal’s Posse. In his retirement, he and his wife Barbara, enjoyed traveling in their RV and cruising the world with family and friends. Additionally, he enjoyed cooking for large events and was a “jack of all trades” in regards to fixing or making things.

Mr. Boos is survived by his children; Cindy Forbes (Timothy) of Clovis; Tamara Wash of Albuquerque, NM; Sharon Perkins (Brian) of Selma; Karen Fontes (Bradley) of Clovis; and his cherished friend Cathy Myers. Howard is also survived by his 7 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Due to COVID, a small private family burial was held on April 23, 2020 at Oak Grove Cemetery.
