Individual Note: Obituary for George Dupont Boomer; www.conway.lib.nh.us/history/obits1999/July1999.htm
George Dupont Boomer, 77, of Chocorua and Estero, Florida, died on July 1, 1999 at his home on Fowlers Mill Road. The only son of Lucius Messenger and Jorgine Slettede Boomer, he was born in Boston on October 31, 1921. He attended Principia in St. Louis, Missouri, the Browning School in New York, class of 1938, and Yale University, class of 1942. He left Yale University in Mid-year to join Pan American Airways (Africa) for one year, at which time it was the largest airline in the world with 36 DC-3s in support of the British in the Middle East.
George's father was president and chairman of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York, and George grew up in Waldorf Towers and was known as the "male equivalent of Eloise," a fictional character who lived in the Plaza Hotel. He liked to tell people that he learned how to cook from Oscar of the Waldorf.
When World War II ended, George was a lieutenant of the U.S. Naval Reserve. He then worked for two years for Horace Work, and then joined Hodges International, Inc., an import-export company specializing in textiles. Later, they started to supply parts and machinery to Italian licensees of important American firms, like General Electric, FMC, and Electric Boat.
When George retired in 1992, he was owner and president of Hodges International, Inc., and the company was then sold. Everyone who worked for and with him loved him for his fairness, his kindness, and his unfailing good humor. He belonged to the Union Club in New York City, and was the oldest charter member of the Stamford Yacht Club. He served on the board of the Sheltering Arms Children's Service, where he was chairman of the board for 12 years.
His family includes his current wife, Nola; a son, John, of Maine; and a daughter, Jorgine, of Manhattan. He was predeceased by two wives, Joan McMaster and Clarina Scudder.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 7 at Runnells Hall, Rt. 113, Chocorua. Donations in Mr. Boomer's memory, in lieu of flowers, may be made to the Chocorua Lake Association and Chocorua Lake Foundation, P.O. Box 105, Chocorua, NH 03817. Arrangements are by the Baker-Gagne Funeral Home and Cremation Service, Rt. 16, West Ossipee.
