I know Mr. Booth from working at Tomoka CI so many years ago when he was the Superintendent/Warden. I always called him Mr. Booth, even at social gatherings just because. Another one of the great mentors in my earlier life. He taught me that you could lead without bullying, be compassionate, but not weak and that a sense of humor would take you further than a trip around the world. He was quite the prankster, and made me laugh uncountless times. He would get that look in those eyes and you knew something happened, or was about to happen! Eve would buy Avon from me and there was Mr. Booth, carrying the Avon bag through the compound to take home to her. What a sport! The last time I saw Mr. Booth was years ago at a Tomoka reunion in Daytona Beach. He was retired already and enjoying life to the hilt. To the Booth family, I send my condolences and thanks that I was allowed to have someone as special as Mr. Booth come into my life. May his soul be as full of life up above as it was here on earth.
