==Death and legacy==
Through these and other vital contributions in education, medicine, agriculture, transportation, and other domestic concerns, Senator Boggs left an enviable record of legislation aimed at improving the quality of life of all Americans and at widening opportunities for all of our citizens. But, above all, Cale Boggs will probably be best remembered by his friends still serving in the Senate and by the people of Delaware as a friend, a man of warm humanity, and as a gentleman who sought ever to set people at ease through his common touch and deep consideration of other people's feelings. Cale Boggs was a man whose friendship one easily sought and, once secured, was long treasured.}}
Boggs' health declined in his final years due to diabetes and cancer. His wife, Elizabeth, died on April 1, 1992, and he died just under a year later, on March 26, 1993, at [[Christiana Hospital]] in [[Newark, Delaware]].<ref name = Clements/> He is buried in the Old Presbyterian Cemetery in Dover, on the grounds of the [[Delaware State Museum]]. The J. Caleb Boggs Federal Building at 844 King Street in [[Wilmington, Delaware]] is named for him.
