James Boselli Obituary

James "Skip" Boselli, 79, of Kennebunkport, Maine passed away peacefully on February 26, 2024.

Skip was born on February 28, 1944 to Chester "Joe" Boselli and Germaine Michaud in Manchester, NH. He attended Bishop Bradley High School and graduated from Saint Anselm College. After several years managing his father's woodworking business, he built a successful career in the computer industry.

Skip had a lifelong passion for boating that took him to the Bay of Fundy, the Northwest Passage, and down the Mississippi River. He loved classic cars, live hockey, and laughing with dear friends. He was a charismatic and engaging storyteller.

More than anything, Skip was a devoted father. He said his greatest achievement was raising two happy, successful adults, and the biggest joy of his life was watching the close relationship his children have with one another. He took immense pride in his grandchildren's achievements.

He is survived by his daughter Karen Boselli and her husband Ryan Sylvester, his son Steven Boselli and his wife Morgan Boselli, and his four grandchildren, Luke, Lila, Jackson, and Ethan. He will be buried in Southborough, MA in a private family ceremony. A Celebration of Life is planned for April.

My sympathy goes to your family on the passing of Jim. I met Jim back in the 1960's with friends and found out we were cousins! I remember going to the Lake's Regions with a group of folks and Jim was the life of the party. I'll always remember his contagious laughter! He was a wonderful fellow and I recall how proud of was of his children. You shall all be in my prayers.
