Jerry Booher

 

It is with great sorrow to inform everyone that Jerry Booher has passed away. As many of you know he and I were married and worked together from 1982 to 2008. He is responsible for putting Intarsia on the map. He promoted Intarsia, I just enjoyed doing it. 
I set up a memorial, please share some of your memories on the site. 
This memorial was created in honor of Jerry Lee Booher of Donna, Texas. Jerry was born on May 14, 1946 in Springfield, OH and passed on January 5, 2017

Jerry gave me wonderful advice when I asked his opinion of my scroll saw.
He said, “it ain’t the saw, it’s the sawer.
Buy the best you can afford, then practice.” That’s true wisdom. Glad bless.

Judy, we were sorry to read of Jerry’s passing. We had never met him, but felt we knew him through the tapes, books, and patterns he helped create. Keith still makes me the sticks Jerry used to help him when he was scrolling to keep the fingers safe, I use them all the time and they take a beating. Even though you were no longer together, I know it must be hard as you recall the fond memories. We are all thankful for his recognition of your wonderful talent and skills for Intarsia and helping you share them with us. Thanks Jerry and God Bless.

I am so sorry for your loss . If it wasn’t for you and your husband I would have never known about this wonderful, new hobby I am just starting. I have all of your books and read everything I can on line about your intarsia. What a great, everlasting gift Jerry Booher has given us. Thankyou to you both and God Bless you and your family.
Sincerely, Ken Bos
