Donald H. Boscher, 84, of Noblesville, passed away on the evening of Monday, August 8, 2016 at Copper Trace in Westfield. He was born on January 22, 1932 to Harry and Ellen (Dickinson) Boscher in Racine, Wisconsin.
Donald graduated from Racine High School in 1951, and the University of Wisconsin in 1955. He worked as a CPA and CFO for several corporations, retiring in 1985. Donald was a member of Noblesville First United Methodist Church; a 62-year member of Belle City Lodge No. 92 F&AM of Racine, WI; Scottish Rite Valley of Danville, IL; and Zem Zem Shrine of Erie, PA; he played clarinet in the Shriner's Marching band and the Shrine Circus. Donald enjoyed playing golf, camping, fishing, bowling, and boating on Lake Erie. He was an avid reader who loved crossword puzzles, walking, traveling in his motor home, and spending his retirement winters in Florida. Although he was very much a gentleman, he was a very competitive game player. Most of all, Donald was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, and was very proud of his children and grandchildren. His infectious smile and the twinkle in his eye will be missed.
He is survived by his wife, Beverly Metzger; children, Karen (Tom) Whisler, David (Lisa) Boscher, and Kathryn (David) Utley; eight grandchildren, Lindsay Reinholt, Lauren Whisler, Michael Whisler, Nathan Boscher, Alek Utley, Haley Utley, MacKenzie Utley, and Emma Utley; great-grandchildren, Winnie & Archer Reinholt; sister, Dorothy Spanske; many nieces, nephews & friends; step-children, Richard (Sarah) Hale and Tamara Hale; step-grandchildren, William Hale, Grace Hale, and Emma Hale; the members of the loving Schori family; and his cockapoo, Missy.
