Vaughn Gene Bomar

Vaughn Gene Bomar, 71, of Piggott died Sunday morning, Feb. 19, 2006, at Murphy Health and Rehabilitation Center in Piggott.

He was born Nov. 9, 1934, in Blytheville, the son of Enloe Donaldson Bomar and Milie Hatley Bomar.

Mr. Bomar retired from the Piggott Police Department in 1996 after 24 years of service as a police officer in Missouri and Arkansas. He attained the rank of Lieutenant before retiring. Always a proud American, he served his country in the U.S. Navy during the Korean conflict. While in the Navy, he served on the U.S.S. Merrick, the U.S.S. Bayfield and L.S.T. 1048.
