Mr. Philip Gerald Boshart, a pioneering figure in the mobile home industry, passed away at his residence on July 13, 2023. He was born on February 25, 1936, in Glenfield, New York, to Muriel Reed and Henry Boshart. With great sadness, we bid farewell to a remarkable man whose legacy will forever be cherished.
During his life, Philip accomplished many notable achievements. He proudly served his country during the Korean War as a member of the United States Air Force. After his military service, he pursued his passion for interior design earning his Bachelors of Arts in Interior Design and became one of the first interior designers in the mobile home industry. His creative flair and innovative designs contributed to shaping the industry in significant ways.
Devoted to his faith, Philip was an active church member through the years. His spirituality played a central role in his life, providing him with strength and guidance.
Philip will be lovingly remembered as the patriarch of his family, a role he embraced with grace and love. His wisdom, kindness, and unwavering support enriched the lives of his loved ones.
