Floyd Edmund Boline

Boline, Floyd E. (Bud). Age 94, of Excelsior, MN (formerly Golden Valley, MN) passed away on November 22, 2023. Bud's life centered around his beloved wife, Bernie, and their family. They built a loving home for their children, spouses, and grandchildren. Gatherings at the Boline's home always included laughter, good stories, amazing food, and a beer or two. He and Bernie traveled the world and spent countless days enjoying their lake cabin and spent winter vacations in Arizona with frequent visits by children and grandchildren. With a quick smile, a story or joke, Bud cultivated lasting friendships and was always there to help family or friends in need. Bud demonstrated and exemplified an unending and enduring care for others. A fine and generous man, he was an example and a light for so many. Bud had a long and distinguished law career, retiring as a United States Magistrate Judge. Prior to his time on the bench, he was a partner in the law firm of Chestnut and Brooks & Burkard. He also served as Assistant Hennepin County Attorney and Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Minnesota. Bud was an extremely proud member of the United States Marine Corp., serving in the Korean War and reaching the rank of Staff Sergeant. Those he served with in the Marine Corp. were some of his closest life-long friends. After Bernie's passing, he found a home at the Waters of Excelsior, where the staff provided him with love, kindness, warmth and a lot of really good Thursday Happy Hours. During his recent rehabilitation stay at the Masonic Home, where he passed, the staff described him as gentle and dear. Bud is survived by children, Michelle Dehn (Don), Bridgit Fiore (Paul), Danette Boline, and Floyd A. Boline; as well as grandchildren Christopher (aka Koko), Gabriel (aka Willy), Stephanie (Kieran), Alex (Keely), Samantha (David), Mackenkie, and Jared.
