Timeline
He died June 15, 2008, in his home in Los Angeles from complications of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
In 1972 Booth retired from the Times and operated several businesses before trying his hand at citrus farming and raising livestock. Booth Ranches (brand name Otis Orchards) in the San Joaquin Valley consists of 9,000 acres (36 km) of orange groves, two citrus packinghouses and a cattle ranch.
During his early years at the Times, Booth began investing in real estate with his friend Charles Munger, now vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. They worked on two real estate projects in Pasadena and quadrupled their money. It was Munger who introduced Booth to Warren Buffett in 1963. Booth's early decision to invest with Buffett left him with shares in Berkshire Hathaway amounting to a 1.4% stake in the company. Booth was a billionaire and one of the largest investors in the company, according to a 2005 Forbes magazine article cited in Booth's Times obituary.
Booth's tenure at the Times overlapped with that of his second cousin and close friend, Otis Chandler, the publisher who held the reins of the paper from 1960 to 1980. The cousins shared a passion for the outdoors; Booth, also known as Otis, surfed, fished and hunted.
During the 1950s, Booth was responsible for overseeing the printing of the newspaper. In 1968 he was named corporate vice president of Times Mirror Corporation in charge of forest products and commercial printing.

Harrison Gray Otis, founder of the Times.
