He is survived by four daughters, Debbie, Jonna, Suzi and Betsy. He is also survived by three grandchildren, Michael Bouchard, Rebecca Manning and Rachael Manning; and four great-grandchildren, Logan, Quinn, Hailee and Madison.

Even though we only knew Ken a short time, The Bouchard Family is a very impressive one. Your love for each other is amazing and that your Father raised a strong and loving family. Know that we will all be together again one day. May God be with all of you.

Debi, Betsy, Suzi, and Jonna my heart goes out to all four of you beautiful women. I remember the first time I heard I was going to meet all the women in Mike's life. How intimidated I was feeling. Then, the moment finally came when I got to meet all of you. All of you couldn't have been anymore welcoming. That's pretty impressive to have five women in one room, and the four of you made me feel like I belonged there on your family get-together. It takes a very special person to raise a household a four daughters, and to have them come out as special and loving as each and everyone of you are. I didn't get spend much time with Ken, but when I did I enjoyed his company. He was so proud and protective of his 4 girls, three grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren. It's a shame they won't have the opportunity to get to know him better, but I'm sure his daughters and grandchildren will tell them all about what a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather he was. He will be dearly missed. I love each and one of you Bouchards. Ken, you'll never be forgotten, only remembered.

"Kenny B" was absolutely one in a million. His smile lit up every room he entered. He greeted everyone in his path with a genuine and caring heart. No one could feel like a stranger in Ken's presence. His laugh was adorable and contagious. We should all aspire to be more like him. His girls are a tribute to the extraordinary man he was. Debbie, Jonna, Suzi and Betsy are four of the most kind, generous and awesome women any man could have ever hoped to raise. He did an amazing job. He will be deeply missed and loved forever. One lesson I will take from Ken is: When the going gets tough--it's time for a joke--make room in your heart for laughter. As sad as I am for ALL of Ken's girls (and grandson, Mike), I smile when I replay his laugh in my heart. And I bet that makes him smile. My love to all the Bouchard's.

It is with great sadness that I heard of Ken's death. I know that he was a kind man with a big smile. My family wants to express sympathy to his girls. Monica MacKenzie ( Pet and Marilyn Keith, Karen and Peter)
