Boomer was a talented young man who enjoyed life in many ways.  His love for his boys, his girlfriend Sue, his Dad and all his family and friends will never be forgotten.  He had a gift to make us laugh which will be sorely missed.  Camping, enjoying the Connecticut River, recycling of scrap metal and rooting for the Oakland Raiders were among Boomers favorite past times.  In his own words, “life is good !”
