Dear Pam and family,
Sincere condolences on the passing of your loved one. I remember Dick Boucher as one of the nicest people in the entire town of West Warwick from the time he was my family's insurance agent on Phenix Ave. dating back to 1960. He would compliment my piano playing when he came to our house in spite of the fact that musically talented I was not as my two brothers Reggie and Vinny were. Always pleasant and smiling.
Prayers and thoughts to all of you.

Dear Robin, Bruce, Paula, and family,
I was sorry to read of the passing of Dick, my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. I have known Dick all my life, first as our insurance agent, and friend of my parents.I often played golf with him at Warwick Country club, and one day he asked if me "this kid" would take him "an old guy" as a partner in a championship, that I know we had no chance of winning. I accepted his offer, he now became "Bouch", it was the best tournament I ever played in, and somehow we won the tournament. From that day on Bouch and I became good friends, and without a doubt one of the nicest guys I have come to know. We went on to play many more years in the tournament until his back gave out, but the friendship lasted forever. I will miss Bouch and am glad I got to know him. May God bless him, and hopefully he will be teeing it up soon with my Mom and Dad.

My condolences to all of you. Dixie, my best memory of your dad was when I met him for the first time. You had informed me that he believed in a firm handshake. I remember squeezing his hand tight, he looked at me and smiled, then he said something like good grip or nice hand shake. I remember his smile. It made me feel good. I wish I could be there for the service but I won't be able to make it. God Bless. RIP Dick.
