Ronald Carl Boehi passed away May 1, 2018, after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.
He was born June 20, 1930 in Portland to Carl and Linda (Schneider) Boehi. He was an alumni of Jefferson High School and Portland State College and worked in the insurance industry for more than five decades, starting with the St. Paul Insurance Company in 1951. Disobeying company policy, he asked Cleve Porter-Smith for a date her first day in the office. They married July 31, 1953.

In 1957 the family moved to Eugene where Ron began work with the Tromp & McKinley Insurance Agency. He eventually became a partner and then CEO of the agency. When Willis Corroon purchased the agency, he served as CEO for the statewide operations before retiring in 1992. Ron was respected for his fairness and integrity. He was a wise and steady boss who helped build a family atmosphere that former employees still miss.
He was a longtime member of Central Lutheran Church in Eugene, where he served two years as council president; Eugene Active 20-30 Club (president); Eugene City budget committee; Lane County Insurance Agent’s Association (president); the Rotary Club; Oregon Bach Festival (board member); and Western Lane Community Foundation (president).
Ron loved socializing, romance, travel, family gatherings at their lakehouse, cars, boats, power tools and the Oregon Ducks. He had a sense of humor to the end of his life.
He is survived by his wife, Cleve; his son, David Boehi (Merry); daughter, Dee Dee Munson (Dave); grandchildren, Bethany Johnson (David), Missy O’Dell (Ryan), Chris Munson and Jessica Harvey (Jameson); and great-grandson, Carter Johnson.
