  LINES, Howard Lee, Sr. (Boo Boo) 02/08/06 Daily American
  
    Howard Lee "Boo Boo" Lines, Sr., 69, of Manola Avenue, died Feb. 7, 2006, at his home.
  Born July 24, 1936, in Johnstown, the youngest of seven siblings. A son of the late Elmer
  and Mamie (Zerfoss) Lines. Also preceded in death by brothers, Frank, Edward, and Joe
  Lines. Survived by his wife, Caroline (Bailey) Lines, whom he married
  Sept. 1, 1956; four children, Debra (Vaughn) Platt, and Pamela (Bill) Bruce, both of
  Ashtabula; Patricia (John) Camplese, Geneva, and Howard (Kathy) Lines Jr., Kingsville;
  nine grandchildren: Renee, Jan Marie, Greg, Monica, Matt, April, Cory, Michelle, and
  Daniel; two great-grandchildren, Ethan and Emma; sisters, Dorothy Hemminger, Ashtabula,
  Elsie (Bill) Hemminger, Stoystown, and Kate (Jim - "His Buddy") Miller, Boswell; and
  numerous nieces and nephews. He had been an Ashtabula resident most of his life. In 1975,
  he started as a volunteer with the Ashtabula Township Fire Department, but after a heart
  attack in 1979 had to resign as an EMT. Prior to his retirement in 1998, he worked 37
  years for Molded Fiber Glass. Bored with retirement, he soon took a position as a
  delivery man with Federated Auto Parts. Howard had an extensive collection of hats and
  loved his collection of model cars, even building a whole room to display them. A
  talented woodworker, he loved his woodshop and used his tools there to fix just about
  anything. He enjoyed plowing snow, his craftsman tools, walking his dogs Sparky and Lucky
  at Lake Shore Park (where they had special privileges), putting up Christmas lights, and
  walking his children through Lake Shore Park to see the animals in their younger years.
  He assisted with the Saybrook Girls Softball Team in 1989 and attended many Lake Shore
  Park meetings, even assembling levy signs in his garage. He could never stay angry at
  anyone and had helped countless people at different times in his life. If something
  needed to be fixed, he always thought it should have been fixed the day before. Friends
  received from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday and 12 to 1 p.m. Friday the time of service at Ducro
  Funeral Services and Crematory, 4524 Elm Avenue, Ashtabula. The Rev. John Gross, Pastor
  of the Geneva United Methodist Church officiating. Interment, Saybrook Cemetery.
