Good bye to a friend Bob Booth

Bob Booth passed away last night. Bob grew up in Iowa and graduated from school there. He enlisted in the army and served faithfully. Along the way he met Marge. They were married almost fifty two years ago. They had a daughter, Stephanie. They lived in Norwich and Bob was proud to be a part of the community. He worked in the community and later taught at Norwich Technical High School. He was involved in politics and served on the City Council, the Board of Education and on many town committees, boards and commissions. He was also in the National Guard for many years.

Bob was also active in our church. Back in the 1970's he served on the Executive Council and even served as Chairman for a time. He was on pulpit committees an for a number of years was active on the Diaconate.

Bob enjoyed talking politics outside the church and loved to listen and engage in the study of the Bible inside the church. At one time he combined both loves by getting involved in prison ministry as he sought to reform the prison system from the inside out.

Bob was a quiet, thoughtful man whose smile and warm handshake always made you feel like a friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with Marge, Stephanie and the grandchildren as they mourn his loss.
