Going to miss you uncle Edd. All the brothers are together now. Will,Shelley Boehm

I have fond memories of when we visited Florida for Ed's 70th birthday.  Ed and Norma took us to see various places including Disney World and the beaches.  Edward, I know you out lived all your brothers even though you were the oldest  but you will be missed here as well.  



My maiden name is Debra Lynn Boehm. I am the youngest and only daughter of Ed Boehm.  I have three older brothers two of which are deceased. My father was the oldest in his family with three younger brothers. His father passed away when he was 14 years old. This unfortunate occurance left him to be the sole provider at an early age for his younger siblings. My father enlisted in the Navy after graduating high school.  On June 6, 1944  landed on Normandy Beach with his shipmates and fought against the Germans thus taking over the the beach.  He was one of roughly 156,000 infantrymen. This invasion also called Operation Overload or D-day was a turning point in the war against the Germans. My father kept his story of that invasion to himself for many years. He finally shared his story later on in his life. 
He was proud of his military accomplishments thus raising 
American flag at his home regularly. 
I learned many things throughout my life from my father and 
always listened to his advice. He always had good advice for me and other people he cared about.  It was that advice that led me to meet the man I would love and marry one day.
Milan Samargya my husband of 20 years who works for a 
litigation firm Jacksonville Florida - KUBICKI DRAPER.
My father has two granddaughters Tabitha 17  recent high school graduate and  attending Flagler college this fall.
Danica who is 16 an avid cross country runner and junior at NEASE 
High School - St Johns county. 

I like to mention that my father was married to my mother for 16 years. Due to certain circumstances lead to a divorce.  He met 
Norma in 1970's and has been married to her for over 40 years.
My father loved Norma and she took good care of my father as he lived to be 96. He would always say "She is a good women to me."

Love you Dad and rest in peace. 

Milan, Debra, Tabby and Dani 









 


My dad was a gentle and kind person.  Started his hard work in Bridgeport, Connecticut in a rubber factory to provide food for his 3 younger brothers at only 16.  Thereafter served in WW2 as a navy signalman.  After his honorable service with the navy, he worked at Sikorsky aircraft where he met my mom, Joan Aubrey working as a secretary also with Sikorsky aircraft.  My mom incurred respiratory illness and doctors encouraged her to move to a warm climate.  Moved to Miami, Florida in 1968.  He worked in the insurance industry the best of his ability.  Sadly, having already 4 children my mom divorced my dad for some unknown reasons.  That did not bring him down because my dad was a hard worker which he always  instilled  in me.  We had fun together many times laughing and talking about sports.  With the little bit of money he had after paying child support.  A great memory I will never forget.  He took me to the last seasonal Miami Dolphins game.  The 1972 Undefeated season, I was 12 at the time.
  
As a bible student I believe the true God Jehovah is always with ones like my dad to provide comfort and support.  He attended a parents without partners gathering and met his new spouse Norma.  Overall my dad lived an extended stable life.  I hope to see my dad and many other dear family members resurrected in a new cleansed earth.  With God's master plan fulfilled we can enjoy real lasting peace and security.
