Richard Norman Boehly, 83, of Bergen, New York, passed away at home on October 23, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

Richard was born on January 26, 1943, in Rochester, New York, the son of the late Arthur and Evelyn (Gabel) Boehly.

Richard was a man of honor, integrity, humor, and many talents, whose life was defined by hard work, dedication, service, and devotion to his family. He had many interests including sports car racing in the Sports Car Club of America and building and flying radio controlled planes with the Radio Control Club of America. He was also a second-degree black-belt in Judo and enjoyed golf, playing the guitar and fixing everything that needed fixing.

Following his graduation from Edison Tech and completion of his military service in the US Army, he devoted many years to a career as a tool and die/machinist and eventually manufacturing manager at Micro Instrument in Rochester, New York. 

Above all his accomplishments, Richard's greatest pride and joy was his family. He shared over 58 years of marriage with his beloved wife, Karen (Scharvogel) Boehly, building a lifetime together founded on love, commitment, and devotion. He treasured the time spent with his family and loved ones, leaving behind a legacy of loyalty, kindness, and lasting memories.
