Alfred E "Ted" Tavernier, Jr.
Alfred Tavernier, Jr. Obituary
Ted and his wife Andrea reopened his parents' former business, The Bocce Club, in June of 1970, reintroducing his mothers' signature chicken dinner and what is now popularly known throughout Northern Rhode Island as "family style chicken". The restaurant became a Rhode Island landmark and a part of the fabric of Northern Rhode Island's cuisine and culture. Ted was a tireless and consummate professional. He deeply valued his hardworking and dedicated staff as well as his longstanding patrons. He attributed his success to both. Ted later opened a sister restaurant in Plainville, MA, Theodore's Landing. Ted was an avid and wellrespected golfer, a three-time club champ at Pawtucket Country Club, and the 1997 State Senior Amateur Champion.
Ted is survived by his four children: Stephen and Scott Tavernier, both of Woonsocket, his daughter Lisa Tavernier Seely of Saugus, MA, and Lynn Tavernier McCall of Saunderstown, RI, his wife of twenty- five years, Andrea (Thompson) Tavernier, seven grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
A service to celebrate his life will be announced and held at a later date. To send condolences please visit

I have only fond memories of Ted both as a cousin and as a supervisor during my several years working at the Bocce Club. Whenever I think about him a smile comes to my face. I have always considered him to be a close friend and a man whom I have always respected. My sincere condolences to Andrea, his children, grandchildren and great-granchildren.
