and riding his Harley.

Jean Donna Brock, sisters Kim (Pat) Parker, Penny (Jack) Clore, and Dianna Devlin, nephews Michael
Clore, Jason Parker, Brian Parker, Sean Devlin, and multiple great nieces and nephews. He is also
survived by in-laws Zilla dela Cruz (John Ervin), Arhnel (Mildy) dela Cruz, Allan (Leody Mae) dela Cruz,

lifetime. He is preceded in death by his parents, Harry and Janice Boatman, father-in-law, Alberto dela
