Robert Dale Boggess, of Victor, went to the last big horse race.
His sunrise was to Sylvester and Dorothy Boggess, the second of 11 children in Crosby, N.D.
Robert was raised on Evaro Hill, attending Frenchtown schools.
Robert worked in the woods as a young man and temporarily for BN Railroad before enlisting in the army.
He performed duties in Northern France, Ardennes, Rhineland, and Central Europe campaigns including the Battle of the Bulge.
After returning home from the service, he married and had four children.
He owned three logging trucks until he had a logging accident and lost his leg in 1960. He then worked at the Missoula County Airport.
Bob raced thoroughbred horses around the U.S. and Canada for over 45 years. He looked forward to spring training and going on the road every year. He was always full of jokes and funny sayings and everyone wondered where he got all his wise remarks. He had a gift for cribbage and would play for who had to do the dishes and who was the all-time champion of Woodside.
He is survived by his three children, Luther Boggess, Irene Nardinger and Nancy Froh. He is also survived by one brother, Burt; two sisters, Sylvia and Betty; his three granddaughters, Teresa, Tiffany and Michelle; seven great-grandkids; also several nieces and nephews.
Sunset was in the early morning hours on Monday, Oct. 29, 2007. He did it his way.
