Vincent Paul Boslego, 95, passed away on Sunday, May 27, 2012 in the presence of family following a brief illness. He was born in 1917 in Mount Carmel, PA, the son of the late Joseph Frank Boslego and Esther E. (Yuskoski) Boslego. He was a graduate of Mt. Carmel High School Class of 1935. After high school, he worked briefly in the anthracite coal mines then moved to Middletown, PA, Hummelstown, PA, Hershey, PA, Fairless Hills, PA, Lansdale, PA and finally Norfolk, VA. He served in the U.S. Army during WWII from 1942-1946 and was honorably discharged. He had been employed at the Middletown Air Depot and McGuire Air Force Base in NJ as a petroleum supply officer for the Defense Department. After retirement and moving to Norfolk fourteen years ago he had been associated with New Dominion Studios, playing TV film roles in the "FBI Files", "New Detectives", "New Prosecutors", and "Big Capers". He was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Through self-study, he became an invaluable resource to his family and friends on such diverse topics as gardening, income taxes, real estate, and the stock market. An enthusiastic home cook, he made periodic blue crab feasts a family tradition for decades.
He was predeceased by his parents, two brothers, Norbert and Ralph, and his beloved wife of 57 years, Helen Kadyszewski Boslego, whom he married on May 4, 1946 in St. Casimir's Church in Kulpmont, PA. He was a dedicated husband and father. He is survived by his six children, Dr. Susan Carter of Kensington, CA, Dr. John Boslego of Bethesda, MD, Barbara Boslego of Norfolk, VA, Robert Boslego of Santa Barbara, CA, William Boslego of Oak Hill, VA, and Col. David Boslego of Chesapeake, VA, along with their spouses, twenty grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
He is also survived by his brother Joseph of Baltimore, MD and two sisters, Evelyn and Dolores of Mount Carmel, PA, plus many nieces and nephews.
