Omaha lost a legend and leader last weekend.  Bob Boozer died Saturday at the age of 75.Boozer’s widow told KETV Newswatch 7’s Melissa Fry that her husband had a brain aneurysm.At 6-feet 8-inches tall, you had to look up to Boozer, which was fitting because Boozer was known as a leader to many.By 1971, Boozer was in his final season with the Milwaukee Bucks. They were NBA champions that season.  Boozer was also part of the 1960 Olympic team that brought gold back to the U.S.For so many years, so many cheered Boozer on. But Boozer would go on to spend decades off the court cheering on everyone else.“He was wonderful, so giving,” said Boozer’s wife, Ella. “Bob was a giving person.”Ella and Bob Boozer were married for 46 years. She told Fry her husband was very passionate about people who needed direction.For 12 years, Boozer served on the Nebraska Board of Parole. He also mentored kids at Boys Town.“He tried to tell them, ‘You know right from wrong, and if one tries to get you to go the other way, you turn around and run as fast as you can the other way,'” said Ella Boozer.Friends said they always saw that side of Boozer.“He just had a sense of community,” said Pat Brown. “Even when he moved out here, he was down there on 24th and Erskine where he grew up.”“He spoke directly to people who had ended up on the other side of the law,” said Jim Fogarty. “With his advice, they could turn their life around.”Fogarty had been working with Boozer on a biography about his victories on and off the court. The biography is still about eight months away from completion.Ella Boozer will remember those victories. She hopes every time someone drives down Bob Boozer Drive in West Omaha, they think of her husband as a kind, loving and giving person.As of Sunday night, there was no word on funeral arrangements for Boozer.
