He was born July 29, 1937, in Hays, Kansas, the son of Albert E. and Leona C. (Linenberger) Boxberger.  He was raised and attended school in Russell, Kansas.  He married Libby J. Robinson in Birmingham, Alabama, August 18, 1959.   They later divorced.  To this union was born one daughter, Linda.  Dwain was a Veteran of the Korean War, having served in Korea.  Dwain had the natural ability to craft something from nothing and could turn seemingly non-descript items into things that other people admired or couldn’t believe he made happen.
