1943 - 2020
Gary Elmo Boswell, 76, of Eureka, UT, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family on August 26, 2020. He had Parkinson’s and dementia but fought a hard battle and was coherent and active until the end.
Gary loved the outdoors. He loved to boat, fish, camp, hunt, and spend time with his friends and family. He was a lifetime member of the Tintic Elks Lodge B.P.O.E. #711. He also spent time as a member of the local search and rescue Jeep Patrol.
He worked in many of the Tintic mines as well as in Nevada, Arizona and near Tooele. He began that career in his youth as a laborer and transitioned into supervisory roles and heavy equipment operations. He retired at EG&G Tech Services in Tooele as a PAS/Utility Operator and a certified operation supervisor. Most interestingly, he spent some time working at Area 51.
