Wigald Boning (56) mourns the loss of his father Heinrich Boning (1936-2023). As the Lower Saxony "Nordwest-Zeitung" reports, the father of the German comedian and actor died on April 3 at the age of 87. There is currently no information on the cause of death.

According to the obituary notice, which was also signed by his son Wigald, Heinrich Boning "led a life characterized by tolerance, a sense of duty, humor and a love of home". The "district newspaper Syke" also reports that the former bank manager was a member of the riflemen's guild in Wildeshausen (Lower Saxony) for more than 60 years. As a sharp-tongued public prosecutor, Boning even once sentenced his son to a fine at the guild court for "carnage".

Together with the local researcher Alfred Panschar, Boning published the book "You didn't miss an opportunity" about the pubs in Wildeshausen. Most recently he is said to have lived in Oldenburg.
