Pat Boone, the legendary singer and actor, has recently made a confession that has tugged at the heartstrings of fans around the world. At the ripe age of 88, Boone has declared that his late wife, Shirley, was the love of his life. The couple was married for over 65 years, and Shirley's passing in 2019 has left a profound void in Boone's life.
Boone, known for his smooth voice and boy-next-door charm, rose to fame in the 1950s with hits like "Love Letters in the Sand" and "April Love." He became a heartthrob for millions of fans and was one of the top-selling artists of his time. Despite his success, Boone always maintained a strong connection with his family and his faith. His relationship with Shirley was a testament to his devotion and commitment, and their love story has touched the hearts of many.
In addition to discussing his love for Shirley, Boone has also shared stories about his long friendship with Elvis Presley. Both singers were rising stars in the 1950s, and their paths frequently crossed in Hollywood and on the music scene. Boone has fond memories of their time together and has even credited Elvis with helping him launch his own career.
But while Boone's friendship with Elvis was important to him, it's clear that his love for Shirley was the most significant relationship of his life. Join us as we discuss how Boone’s relationship with his late wife helped mold him into the man he is today.

Foley, Boone's father-in-law, was a friend of mine. His name was Red, not Ted. Actually, his name was Clyde, but he was known as Red Foley and deserves an accurate account in your narrative.

[@cordellsenior9935]

At about 28 - 30 years old, I repeatedly ran into Pat Boone, intensely playing 3 on 3 halfcourt basketball at an indoor facility in Century City, Los Angeles (maybe full court, don't recall). Based on date estimates, he must have been in his (early) 50s then. He was ther to PLAY and was not joking. I remember being surprised at how good he was. He had a pretty decent game. He loved to hoop it up and was not scared to go inside with the ball, and he had a jump shot. (He had a little Gale Goodrich in him.) Bumped into him in the steam room too. We didn't talk much at all, just hooped it up, like hoopsters do and he was a real, genuine guy. God blessed him with a wonderful, fruitful life.

[@theresachiorazzi4571]

I’m sorry for pat cause I’m just like him I miss the love of my life too ❤❤❤. I was married 60years you can never get back what you had and lost. Hang in there pat that’s all we can do now.

Pat Boone, wife was not Shirley Jones? The fact that they remained married for 65 yrs. in itself is to be respected. As in today's world people have no respect for the meaning of being married. They get married like they change their underwear, it's really very disgusting. I also didn't know Pat Boone, and Elvis, were friends, good for them. It's good too know he has his daughters along with his grand children to keep him company and feeling alive. Bless him.

I wished Elvis would’ve lived a little cleaner life than he did, but one chooses what they want to do in life, and it’s impossible to protect someone from their own self
