DAYTON'S HARRISON BOLES, LOVED FAMILY
Harrison Boles loved to fish, and he was able to enjoy his passion one last time last week.
Mr. Boles, 87, of Dayton, died Saturday afternoon in St. Luke Hospital East, Fort Thomas.
"We took him fishing just last Tuesday," said his granddaughter, Angela Fields, with whom he lived.
She and her husband, Bruce, often took Mr. Boles fishing, mostly to lakes around the area, Mrs. Fields said. "He'd get real comfortable in his lawn chair and usually go to sleep. But he loved fishing and he loved to be out of doors," she said.
"He had three main interests - fishing, bingo and his family," said Mrs. Fields. "As you can see, he had a really large family. There are about 70 great-grandchildren, but we can't count them all," she said.
Mr. Boles had not been able to play bingo too much of late because of failing eyesight, his granddaughter said, but he favored games at the Dayton Eagles and St. Bernard Church.
Mr. Boles worked as a forklift operator with Formica Corp., Cincinnati, until he was forced to retire with a heart problem, while still in his 40s, Mrs. Fields said. "He beat the odds," she said, noting his age.
Mr. Boles' wife, Mary Catherine Baker Boles, died in 1990. A son, Jack Boles, died earlier this year.
