âYou can never have too many hobbies,â said Bovardâs youngest son, Scott, of Missoula, Montana. âI think thatâs one thing dad passed on to us is thereâs no reason to be stagnant but always try to take on a challenge and do something different whether youâre good at it or not.â
Bovard, of Clear Lake, died on Nov. 23 due to complications from COVID-19. He was 93.
