Reverend Monsignor James F. Bouffard

Father Jim was great. He grew up in the house next to ours. We all loved him. We loved all the Bouffards. and I grieve with a Joanne, the last survivor.

Joanne, Richard and Will .... May you each recall a special memory of Jim that serves as the reminder of his love for you all. Know that we are all thinking about you and sending lots of love to you now and always. Elaine, Dennis, David, Suzie, Journey, Ellie, Taylor, Carrie and Cory

I am so sorry for your loss. May your memories bring you comfort as your heartfelt prayers to God bring you strength.

Fr. Jim was one of a kind. My Mom and I had the privilege of getting to know Fr. Jim well when he was pastor of Sacred Heart. He gave the best homilies of anyone by far, and we enjoyed his quick wit and great stories. When mom passed shortly after Fr. Jim moved on to St. Helen's he was there, and his words at her funeral gave me great comfort. I'm so saddened to hear of his passing but know that he's in heaven telling the funniest and entertaining stories they've probably heard in years....

We will always remember Jim as a Great Priest and a Great Guy! We enjoined all the times spent with Jim and how he helped us grow in both our faith and our spirituality. Jim and his family will be kept in our thoughts and prayers

I REMEMBER JIM AT OUR CLASS REUNION. I HAD A LOT OF FUN GOING OLD MEMORIES OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL DAYS TOGETHER.
GOD BLESS,

TIM WADE

JIM was truly a "priest's priest." Not only a prayerful man but a sincere person. One would always feel his comforting words and his humor and whit. Jim is a great loss to his loved ones, but even to the Church of Newark Archdiocese. Certainly I will keep Jim in Mass prayers this week end...and his family as well. Jim is a great loss indeed. May he rejoice in seeing the face of God.
Sincerely in Christ Jesus,
Rev. Gene Marcone
