Obituary for Joe Boatright
Joseph Henry Boatright was born the son of Lester Boatright and Ruby Martin Boatright on September 25, 1940 in Stigler, Oklahoma. He was one of two children, a loving brother to Sue.
Joe grew up in the Broken Arrow, Oklahoma area and graduated from Broken Arrow High School. He joined the Air National Guard and later worked at Zebco and then retired from American Airlines. Joe also worked part-time at Broken Arrow Public Schools and continued to drive buses for the schools and church youth groups after retirement. He had many friends and enjoyed spending time with his family. His favorite hobbies included camping, hunting and fishing, and he also enjoyed spending the afternoons watching NASCAR races, especially Mark Martin.
Joe had a servant's heart, was proud of his Choctaw heritage, loved people and volunteered his time driving the church bus. He was known as "Papa Joe" and was a father figure to many. His calming presence will be missed by those who had the privilege of calling him husband, dad, brother, grandpa, friend and "Papa Joe."
