William "Bill" Boudle

Bill Boudle, 65, passed away in Cass County Memorial Hospital's County Hospice in Atlantic on Monday, March 26, 2012.
William Samuel Boudle was born, Aug. 19, 1946, the son of William S. and Eda Louise (Johnson) in North Stratford, N. H. He grew up and was schooled in Vermont to the age of 18 when he joined the Air Force for four years. He was an air policeman, stationed at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha.
Bill was married to Charlotte Weaver in Treynor on Nov. 19, 1965. The couple was blessed with three children. The family moved to Groveton, N.H. upon his discharge from the service. In 1979, they moved to Odebolt, where he was employed in water treatment until moving to Atlantic in 1980. Bill worked several jobs over the years, until discovering his true calling as Bill the Bug Man. He owned Atlantic Pest Control until his retirement four years ago. Bill worked very hard at being ornery as his reputation will attest. He has been a very funny and loving man who will be remembered with a smile by all who knew him.
Bill coached baseball and enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge F and AM and North Star Lodge # 8 in Lancaster, N.H. He was very active in the First United Methodist Church and enjoyed traveling to see his grandchildren.
