LITTLE RIVER, S.C. \emdash Richard E. Bolton, 88, of Little River, South Carolina and formerly of Hague, passed away Thursday, Feb. 19, 2015, after being surrounded by his loving family.
Born Feb. 2, 1927, in Hague, he was the son of Harry B. Havens and Pauline Bolton. In 1935, he was adopted by his grandparents, Richard J. and Mame Bolton.
Richard was a graduate of Hague High School in 1944, Champlain College in 1949 and Siena College in 1951.
The following excerpt is from the Congressional Record that was written by his good friend, Hon. Gerald B. H. Solomon:
"If you can't imagine Washington without it's monuments, you can't imagine Hague without the presence, inspiration and steady hand of Dick Bolton.
I measure a man by how much he gives to his neighbors and to his community. By that measure, Dick Bolton has been a giant. Consider that he was a busy employee of International Paper Co. for 29 years, retiring as a department superintendent. He still found time to serve seven terms on the Warren County Board of Supervisors, and two terms as that board's Chairman.
He was on the Board of Directors for the Supervisors and County Legislators Association from 1983 to 1988, and third vice president of that association in 1991. He also served as a member of the Lake George Park Commission and Chairman of the Glens Falls Transportation Council.
He was also active in his community, serving as a past Commander of the American Legion, past president of the Hague Fish and Game Club, Warren County Conservation Council, New York State Region 5 of the Fish and Wildlife Management Board and the Hague Chamber of Commerce. He was a past vestryman of the Episcopal Church and a charter member of The Hague Fire Department."
Richard loved the game of golf and played for more than 50 years. His accomplishments include being the club champion at the Ticonderoga Country Club and Cypress Bay Country Club in Little River, South Carolina. In 1992, he won the gold medal in golf at the Empire State Games in Albany, and, in 1995, he finished third in the World Amateur Championships held in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, beating more than four thousand amateur golfers.
He is survived by his sons, Richard Jr. and his wife, Sharon, and their children, Collin, Erin and Haley, Stephen and his wife, Jennifer, Terence and his wife, Pamela, and his daughter, Katherine, and his daughter, Elizabeth Slycord and her husband, Frank, and their children, Corinne and Joseph Maxwell.
There will be no calling hours. Richard will be buried alongside his loving wife of 64 years, Penelope, in Valley View Cemetery in Ticonderoga at the convenience of the family.
