Boswell was born February 15,1942 in Washington DC to the late Beatrice and Edgar Boswell. Boswell attended Bladensburg High School and entered the United States Army as a paratrooper in the 82^nd Airborne division.

     He met Mary Ellis in Queenstown, MD and formed an unbreakable partnership of more than 40 years. He was a racecar driver and speed boat racer at heart, loved speed and was the epitome of fun and laughter. He loved his family and friends more than anything; never met a stranger, “could never have too many friends” and formed relationships with people who came to his house to work. He knew every life was precious, he was kind, caring and would run to help anyone he could. He was a role model, father figure, mentor and hero to many. But he was especially committed to his grandkids, they were his ultimate joy, all 21 of them.
