Brian Boulay Obituary
AUBURN, MA/ IRELAND - Brian Boulay, 34, of Dublin, Ireland formally from Auburn, MA passed away unexpectedly Saturday, June 9th at his home of an acute asthma attack.

Dear Kelly & Mr. and Mrs. Boulay,
I am very sorry for your loss and I am thinking of you at this very difficult time.

After the game, he was signing autographs and taking pictures with fans. I remember saying Kelly your brother is famous! Aftewards,we hung out and had a nice dinner together . I know Brian had a strong and loving relationship with you. He will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
