Boisture was a star athlete in high school, playing both basketball and football at Detroit Holy Redeemer.

[3] He served in the United States Marine Corps in the Pacific Theater during World War II, and was wounded in the Battle of Okinawa,[4] for which he was awarded a Purple Heart.

Boisture's teams played their first two seasons at the old field, near the corner of Oakwood and Washtenaw, just west of McKenny Union.

Boisture's bowl-bound 1971 team played for one of the few sellout crowds in the stadium's history, a 0–0 tie against Eastern Kentucky on October 16, 1971, which drew 17,360 spectators.

[14] In February 1974, Boisture left Eastern Michigan to coach the Detroit Wheels, in the Central Division of the World Football League,[15][16] who also played home games at Rynearson Stadium.

"[3] He and his family settled in Wyandotte, Michigan, and started a marketing firm dealing internationally with military equipment, from which he retired in 1990.
