George Arthur Boedeker, Jr., 74, passed away January 28, 2015. He was born at home in Lavaca County, Texas on July 5, 1940 to the late George A. and Annie Koenning Boedeker, Sr. After 41 years of service, he retired from Union Carbide. After retirement he worked for the Texas Boll Weevil Eradication Program. As a young man, as he would say "I've done everything there is to do with cotton" from farming to ginning when he first began working in the cotton industry in Lubbock, Texas after high school graduation. He was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church.
On February 25, 1961 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Yoakum, Texas he married the love of his life, Margaret Ann Kocian. George was well known for his sense of humor and ability to carry on a conversation with anyone. His favorite hobbies were spending time with his family he dearly loved, hosting family parties at the river, raising award winning pecans, going to dances with his wife (especially the Red Ravens), river fishing, trips to Louisiana, Cruises with the Red Ravens Band, and gardening. As his children were growing up, he was an active adult leader for 4-H swine projects, attended all school dances as chaperone, and was a little league baseball manager. In 1981 he was named Honorary Chapter Farmer by the Bloomington FFA. When George and Margaret lived in Placedo, TX, he was an active member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church where he served on the hospitality committee, parish council, chairman of the church bazaar and turkey dinner and helped with CCD. He was a member of the Polka and Waltz Club and the Western Dance Club.
