I was saddened to hear of Dr. Boehm’s passing but know he’s enjoying his Heavenly reward. I never knew him as a physician, but have heard great things about his long years of medical practice. As a Blinn Board of Trustees member, he was always a man of vision and a great supporter of the Health Sciences Division at Blinn. Thank you Dr. Boehm for your insights!

Dr. Boehm’s legacy will forever be evident in Brenham, in those who knew him, and in those who never knew him, but have benefited from his community service. Remembering his infectious smile and his tender care for my sick or injured children so many years ago. Sincere condolences to his family and Brenham.

Dr. Boehm was by anyone’s definition a great man and a superior asset to Brenham and Washington County. I sang for many years in the Brenham Chorale with Dr. Boehm and I could count on him to hit the right note. He came often to Chappell Hill to our Fourth of July parade and helped as a Judge for the entries in the parade.
It will not be possible to replace Henry Boehm in our community life.

I’ve always liked he and Teddy, along with their kids. My prayers are with the family during this difficult time.
