Owen Ross Boland

December 10, 2021

Owen Ross Boland passed away on Friday, December 10, 2021, at the age of 74 in his loving home, surrounded by family. Born in Burlington, NC to John and Frances Boland, he was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Kathy; three children, Fallon Boland, Jeff & his wife Ashley Boland, Tim & his wife Kristyn Boland; his five grandchildren, Payton, Aria, Jeffrey II, Owen, and Lucy; brother John & wife Mary Boland; brother-in-law Mike & wife Kelly Fallon; sister-in-law Claire Fallon and her wife Kerry Ward; as well as many beloved cousins, nieces and nephews.

Ross is remembered as a loving husband and incredible father and grandfather who was truly an exception human being who never met a stranger and always brought joy to those around him. We will think of him every time we hear beach music, step onto the driving range, or think of his words of wisdom such as “be safe, be good” or “If I was any better, I couldn’t stand it.”

    I'm so sorry for your loss! I worked with Ross at Vanstory's about 47 years ago. He was a good boss and a better friend.

    Dear Bolands,
    Deep sympathy to you on the death of your husband and dad. I certainly have many memories of your family from my time at O.P.
    Ross was such a gentleman and dear father. You children should stand proud when his name is spoken
    Bill and I still live in Cotswold sharing 59 years of marriage and six grandchildren from 15 to 28.
    Would definitely be at the service but fractured my right arm so travel is out for a time.
    Love to you all

    I am very sorry for your loss. I was fortunate to have gone on customer sales visits with Ross during his days of selling yarn. He was always a customer advocate and a most kind and fair minded person. My condolences to the family and those that love him
