Roger K. Booth, 72, born June 1, 1939, to Kirk S. and Inez Booth in Coeur d'Alene - died surrounded by his family Saturday, June 25, 2011, at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Lewiston.
Roger was the oldest of his siblings, Larry S. Booth and Robert Bloom, both of Rathdrum, Idaho, and Raymond Bloom of Silvana, Wash. He grew up in Kellogg, Idaho, and Coeur d'Alene, graduating from Coeur d'Alene High School in 1957 without ever having missed a math problem. He attended the University of Idaho in 1957 and 1958.
On April 4, 1959, he married Jeannine F. Ayers and began his family and career. Roger and Jeannine have three children, Larry and his wife Heather, Debbie and her husband Eric, and Kirk Jennifer.
During his 52 years as a Lewiston resident he worked as a carpenter, founded Craftwall Inc., in 1964 and was the owner of Booth Construction until his retirement in 1996. In addition to his business ownership, he founded the Lewis-Clark Building Contractors Association in 1974 and served as president from 1986 to 1993. He was the first person honored as a life member of the association. He was a member of Hells Canyon Boat Club, the Elks Lodge and the Lewiston Gun Club, serving as director from 1974 to 1980. He also coached Boys' Club football and basketball and helped build Hathaway Field.
He was the proud, loving, prankster grandpa and papa to Emily, Kallie, Garrett, Kaitlynn (Peanut), Sarah, Katie, Taylor, Morgan, Madison, Lexi and Mitch.
Roger enjoyed photography, trap-shooting, fishing and golf. He fished the Clearwater River, Dworshak Reservoir, the Pacific Ocean from the Canadian and Hawaiian coasts, and caught 11 different species while fishing in Australia.
Roger will be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend, as well as a shrewd businessman and a community leader. He not only had great influence on his family's lives, but lasting influence on all those who knew him and this community.
