To Bobby and the entire Bouchey Family
My deepest sympathy on the passing of this wonderful man. I remember him so well, he and my father (Norm Leone) would place bets every weekend at the South End Tavern. They "Ruled" the bar. He was always so cheerful and always smiling. I remember Mary Jane so well, she always sat with us and she and my parents would talk for hours. Remember the good times, speak of him often and you now have an angel watching over you always. Many prayers and much love.
