Boots was born in Muenster on October 17, 1928 to Henry J. and Mary Knabe Sicking. He had a dairy for 37 years, and at one point went 12 years without ever taking a single day off. As a child, Boots said his mother could always pick more cotton then he could, and he couldn’t understand how that was possible. His daughter Rose Ann was his best tractor driver. Boots loved gardening and shared his vegetables with everyone. He loved to sit on his front porch and wave to everyone who went by.
