HUGH E. “BOOB” BOTHWELL SR., 97, of Indianapolis, went to be with the Lord on Nov. 23, 2017, surrounded by his family.  

He was born Aug. 24, 1920, in Beech Grove to Harry and Ada Mae (Buis) Bothwell. He is also preceded in death by his wife of 53 years, Virginia (Williams) Bothwell; son, Robert Amick; daughter, Debra Tripp; grandson, Mark Amick; and sisters, Luetta Shutt and Ruth Carr. 

Hugh graduated from Beech Grove High School in 1939 and retired from Chrysler in 1980, having worked in many positions. He was a member of Fraternal Order of the Eagles, Beech Grove 4167, and was an avid sports fan who loved the Indiana Hoosiers basketball team.  

Many in the community will recall Hugh as a well-dressed man because he could always be found wearing a good-looking suit and a colorful cap with a matching pocket square. Many people would say, “There goes the “best-dressed man” in Beech Grove. His children will remember him as a caring and devoted father who taught them by example to love their families, help others and treat everyone with respect.

Hugh is survived by his children, Charles Amick (Sharon), Hugh E. Bothwell Jr. (Susan), Joyce Grider and Tom Bothwell (Brenda); son-in-law, Guy Tripp; 23 grandchildren; many great-grandchildren; several great-great-grandchildren; niece, Linda Duke; and a great-niece and nephew among many other extended family members and friends.

A memorial visitation will be from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 2, at Little & Sons Funeral Home, 1301 Main St., Beech Grove, IN  46107, with a time for sharing memories at the conclusion. He will be privately laid to rest at New Crown Cemetery at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory may be made to the American Cancer Society or American Heart Association.
