Later Years
Booke continued to work until he died of colorectal cancer in Sherman Oaks, California at age 64. He is interred in the Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery in Culver City, California. His tombstone reads, "Beloved Pa, Grandpa, Brother and Boss." (The "Boss" no doubt a reference to "Boss Hogg", a character he was loved for by his fans.)

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“To me, old age is always fifteen years older than I am.”
—Bernard Baruch (1870–1965)
“In the United States, it is now possible for a person eighteen years of age, female as well as male, to graduate from high school, college, or university without ever having cared for, or even held, a baby; without ever having comforted or assisted another human being who really needed help. . . . No society can long sustain itself unless its members have learned the sensitivities, motivations, and skills involved in assisting and caring for other human beings.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
