William Kipp (Bill) Bovey, a life-long member of the Concord Carlisle community, died peacefully on February 12, just a week after his 86th birthday, with his wife of 48 years, Katherine MacLean Bovey, at his side. Bovey was a fixture among generations of commuter rail riders, who knew he held the same job as a stock broker in Boston from 1951 to 2006. For many of those 55 years, he was part of a century-old game of bridge played on newspapers laid across the laps of Concord businessmen on their way to work. Bovey attended Fenn School in Concord and the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville CT. He was a 1951 graduate of Yale University. Bovey was a proud member of the Concord Independent Battery, the Boys Friendly, and the Sangerfest Concert Choir, with whom he sang in concerts locally and in England, including the great concert of 1,000 Voices at Royal Albert Hall in London. His great love of singing was combined with another great passion when he and the Sangerfest performed the National Anthem at Fenway Park in June of 2005. He is also alleged to be the longest-standing season ticket holder for the Boston, now New England, Patriots, attending the team's first practices in 1960 at Emerson Field in Concord, and maintaining his tickets and allegiance to his death. Bovey was also known for his family's tradition of outdoorsmanship, passed on to him by his father Martin K. Bovey, a wildlife author and filmmaker. Bovey loved hunting for ducks on the Concord and Sudbury Rivers and Canada Geese in the remaining corn fields near Cambridge Turnpike. Bovey was a cooperator of Emerson Hospital, on the investment committee of The Timothy Wheeler House, and an active fundraiser for Fenn, Hotchkiss and Yale. He was a longstanding member of the West Chop Club on Martha's Vineyard and the Concord Country Club. He is survived by three children, daughter Julia Hodges Bovey and her husband Mark S. Elliot of Brooklyn, NY, son Edward Hope Bovey II and Andrea Edberg Bovey of Denver, CO, and daughter Alexandra Kipp Bovey and Mark Isselhardt of Elmore, VT, as well as five grandchildren, Zachary and Samuel Elliot, Anna and Charles Isselhardt, and Jennifer Bovey, and by his elder brother Martin K. Bovey, Jr. of Wayzata MN. A memorial service will be held Friday, February 20 at 2:00PM at The First Parish Church in Concord. Contributions in his memory can be made to his favorite charity: Rosie's Place, 899 Harrison Ave. Boston MA 02118.
