James Boule Obituary

BOULE, James C. "Jim" 63, born on March 4, 1948, the son of Janice & the late Henry Boule, passed away on May 24, 2011, from complications of blood clotting issues. He was raised in East Hampton, CT & graduated from Vinyl Technical High School in Middletown, CT & continued his education at Hartford College, Hartford, CT. He leaves cherished memories to his beloved wife, Joan of 29 years; mother Janice; brother David (Helen); three children, daughter Deborah Inlow (Raymond), daughter Allison Dillon (Kyle), all from East Hampton, CT & son Darren Boule from St. Petersburg; 4 grandchildren, Joseph, age 9, Liam, age 8, Olivia, age 7 and Christopher, age 11 months; wonderful nieces and nephews and friends. Jim was an entrepreneur, his success started by owning businesses in CT. He continued his success in plastic injection molding machines in Somerset, NJ. With the desire to move to St. Petersburg, Jim, Joan and Darren made it their home for 26 years, along with the triumph of his businesses. Living on the water, boating became one of his favorite pass times and his other interests included a great game of cards with friends or family, golfing and traveling. For the last 16 years, Jim and Joan enjoyed six months of the year at their mountain home located near Killington, VT. Jim will be remembered most as an outgoing individual who had a contagious laugh. He had tremendous courage and a passion to teach others from all his own past ex- periences. His wisdom allowed him to enjoy a challenge and he always excelled his best efforts. He was a proud man, someone who could do it all from building houses to owning his own corporations. He was a magnificent leader and his wit will never be forgotten. He lived a wonderful life and was dearly loved by his family and many friends. Respecting Jim's wishes for cremation, a celebration of his life will be held in CT sometime in July and a celebration of life memorial will be held in Florida at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Suncoast Hospice House Woodside, 6770 102nd Ave., Pinellas Park, FL 33782 or your favorite charity.

It was a blessing to have known Jim. He was a great man who will never be forgotten. Having grown up with his Son Darren, Jim taught me many lessons in my childhood that I still live by to this day. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
