Harry Don Boggs, born April 26, 1941, passed on Thursday April 17, 2025. Harry was preceded in death by wife, Wanda M. Boggs, Parents Edgar and Katherine Boggs, brother Joe Boggs and sister Lavanna Collins. Harry is survived by his daughter Sandra Dee Knoernschild (Bruce Knoernschild) two brothers, Kenny Boggs and Henry Earl Bogs and three grandchildren Kelcey Knoernschild, Christopher (Chelsey) Knoernschild and Cole Knoernschild. Harry loved working with Massman Construction for 34 years. He enjoyed driving trucks, running heavy equipment, working with people and building projects. One of his last projects for Massman was putting in the Argosy Casino. Even when not at work he would be busy building and inventing a new tool in his garage. Harry was always busy in his life with numerous hobbies. You most always would find him outside gardening, planting or replanting flowers, feeding and watching the birds, bee caretaking (everyone got a jar of honey he met), lost or homeless animals always had a home at dads. He raised a cow herd and would always be watching his crops when it was planting season or time for harvest. Harry was always on his Gator around the neighborhoods from visiting friends to feeding the homeless cats. It is springtime now; the purple martins will be here soon and it is time for him to put up the bird houses and go mushroom hunting. He will always be fondly remembered by his grandsons for silver dollar sized pancakes and chocolate syrup on a Saturday morning. If they had to go out there was no finer restaurant than Cracker Barrel. Visitation will be Wednesday, April 23, 2025 at 10:00 to 11:00 AM, at Rollins Funeral Home, 1106 Branch St, Platte City MO 64079. Internment will immediately follow the visitation at the Platte City Cemetery. Dinner for friends and family immediately following the services at 7610 N.W. Fox Road Parkville, MO. In lieu of flowers, Harry’s favorite Charity is St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. He would always remind you it has to be the one with Marlo Thomas.
