Jon was a true individual who I will always remember. He was one of my closest friends and I extend my deepest sympathies to his family. He was always good for a laugh, but never failed to surprise me with the wisdom he could drop. I will always carry my memories of Jon and he will continue to bring a smile to my face.

Bobby Boucher, That name just says it all. When you read it or say it you'll instanly put a smile on your face. You can't help but not to. Bobby was a good dude and at times a little crazy. I think this is why I enjoyed his company so much. Bobby was a dude that would truly do anything for a friend. Like, go over to your familly's house while your over seas just to take out the trash. He was a cool dude. I will most definitly miss bobby.
Cheers to Bobby

To the family, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss and my thoughts are with you. I remember playing with Jon on the Lillie B. Haynes playground when we were in elementary school. I got in trouble for wrestling with him in the sand box just to impress a girl. He was a good friend. I honor him for serving our country.

John Boucher was one of my best friends. I met him in elementry school, and we were friends past high school. My best memories were when we went snow boarding in Vermont, and spending hours hiking in the woods near my house. John was a fun loving person who could make anyone laugh. He enjoyed bike riding, snow boarding, hiking, offroading, and spending time with family. I'm going to miss him a lot, my only wish is that I had spent more time with him before he moved to New York. I hope nothing but the best for his family. Maybe reading all of these fond memeories that people had with John, will bring them some peace.
Sincerely,
Chris Moore
