Walter Boone

Walter B. Boone passed away suddenly on Friday, July 21, 2017 at his home in Langhorne, PA. He was 75 years old.

Walter was the beloved husband of 52 years to Carol (nee Good) Boone.

Born in Philadelphia, he was the son of the late Walter B. and Blanche Brennan Boone. He was a longtime Bucks County resident.

A graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School, Walter was an avid runner and held the track team record for over 15 years. He attended Temple University on a full track scholarship and graduated with a degree in business. He was a very proud, two-time, Boston Marathon runner and ran in several organized marathons over the course of many years. He also served in the Army Reserves during the 1960s. While committed to his job as President of Fell and Moon Insurance Co., his family was first and foremost, and he was devoted to his wife, children, and grandchildren.

In addition to his loving wife, Carol, Walter is survived by his children and their spouses, Wendy Jane Boone, Holly L. (Michael) Hosie, Christy B. (Bill) Van Veen, and Walter Baynard Boone, IV (Kristy); his cherished grandchildren, Quinlan, Evelyn and Ella Hosie, Billy, Carissa and Caylee Van Veen and Dahlia, Walter V and Clara Boone. He is also survived by his sister, Peggy Boone Wible.
