It is the hardest thing letting go of someone you love so deeply. Knowing your spirit is still alive will help me through. You are my hero! You will be greatly missed and thought of always. XO
I love you,

Mr.Bouchard was a very considerate neighbor. When my mother needed work done around her home, Paul was so kind to help her. He will be missed throughout the community.
I wrote a small note of appreciation for Paul but I wanted to add that God loves the family and he will be your comforter through this difficult time. We will be praying for you during the next few months. God be with you is my prayer.
Laurie,I have only met you a few times,I am good friends with your sister,Kathy. Want you to know that my thoughts and prayers go out to and your family.
I will always remember the sound of your voice.
I will always remember your smile.
I will always remember your sense of humor.
I will always be in awe of how strong you were.
I will always brag about your work ethic and be proud.
May you rest in peace knowing that you are loved by many.
Love forever….
Lena
Dad,
You are my love and I am grateful for your work ethic, commitment to teaching the value of an education, your sense of humor, and yes your tough love at times. You are the reason I am who I am today (the good and the bad). There will never be a day that you are not with me. I love you beyond explanation. I will see you in heaven.
Laurie,
We wish to express our condolences of the passing of Paul. We understand how this disease can take someone that you care about as I lost my Sister to this disease. But as you will see Paul someday I will see my Sister who was as loving the day the Lord gave her to us as the day the Lord took her home. We are thinking about you and the children and you are in our prayers.
Mitzi and Donnie
Dad,
I wish I could have known you better but that was not to be. You are in my prayers.
Paula
I knew you faintly as a child. I reached out and got to know you well as a man. What I found was the man that I strive daily to duplicate. You are a tough act to follow. If I just become 1/2 the man you are, I will be better than most. I have the utmost respect for the way you have conducted your life and am proud to say Paul E. Bouchard was my father. Rest well knowing I love you dearly
You were one of the strongest people I had in my life, and I look up to you for that. I always will.
I miss you, and I love you Grandpa.
Dad. Wish you would have been a part of my life. I am sad you weren’t. I love you hope to reunite soon
