Bruce Boucher Obituary
A 1989 graduate of Woonsocket High School, Bruce worked as a General Superintendent for Tara Construction in Boston, MA, owned Granite Hill Property Management, and was a member of the Local 33 Carpenters Union. He was a longtime hockey coach for both the Woonsocket North Stars and the RI Saints, as well as a baseball coach for the North Smithfield Little League.
In addition to his wife and father, Bruce is survived by his two beloved sons, Riley and Nolan Boucher; two brothers, Pierre Boucher of Woonsocket and Brian Boucher of Haddonfield, NJ; a sister, Manon St. Germain of Bangor, ME, as well as several nieces, nephews and godchildren.
Bruce was a devoted family man who lit up the room with his enthusiastic personality. He was a caring, big-hearted, gentle giant with an infectious sense of humor. Truly devoted to his late mother, he will be fondly remembered as the quintessential "Momma's boy." He was a hero to his boys, and the love of Nicole's life. Bruce will be forever cherished and admired for his loving nature, his laughter, and his selflessness.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Saturday, May 16, 2015 at 10 AM in St. John Vianney Church, 3587 Diamond Hill Road, Cumberland. Burial will follow in St. John the Baptist Cemetery, 314 Wrentham Road, Bellingham, MA. Calling hours are Friday from 5 - 8 PM in the Holt Funeral Home, 510 South Main Street, Woonsocket. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Riley and Nolan Boucher Scholarship Fund, Care of Navigant Credit Union-Park Square, 1280 Park Ave., Woonsocket, RI 02895. www.holtfuneralhome.com

I am so sorry for your loss. May the thoughts and prayers of family and friends both near and far help you and those boys find comfort. You will most definitely be in my prayers. My deepest sympathy.

Our thought and prayers are with the Boucher Family and relatives. God must've had a plan to take Coach Bruce this early. I suppose he needed his help up there. I know my Beth will forever think of Coach Bruce as she continues on her hockey journey. How can she not since he recruited her at age 7 to be his goalie on the RI Saints state team. He was her mentor and a great friend and coach. I don't know if I ever really saw Bruce without a smile even when he was mad. His smile and bright eyes were infectious. Everyone loved Bruce and he will be missed. He was a part of so many lives. RIP Bruce and God Bless his entire family.
Very Memorable Trip to Magog
