Numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Dad spent his early years in Nebraska and when his beloved mother died when he was 16, he took to hopping trains and seeing the country. After a few yeas he ended up in Oakley California to be with family and work. In the early 1950 our family came to Roseburg where dad worked on numerous projects around Douglas County. He was a Millwright and built many things. Dad like to hunt, fist and ride motorcycles. He was an avid Rock hound and liked to pan for gold.. But most of all he loved doing things with and for his family. He dearly loved his grandchildren. "A big thank you for all your help with Grandpa these past years." He is preceded in death by his parents and younger brother, Howard and Frederick Bolton. We would like to give a special "Thanks" to cousin Mike for being there when Dad needed you and to Fred, who was with Dad through the good and bad the last few months. Also thanks to the people who cared for Dad in Rehab, the Nursing Facility Staff, Amedisys Hospice who came to help at home and the girls from in home care. Entombment has taken place on Friday, April 9th at Roseburg Memorial Gardens after a small, very nice Service at Wilson's Chapel of the Roses. Thank you everyone for the cards, flowers, and being with us through our sad time. Please visit Lee's web site at www.wilsonschapeloftherosefh.com and leave messages for the family.
