James D. Boulay

It is with profound sadness, we acknowledge the passing of James D. Boulay, affectionately known to many as "Boo," or "Grampy," who was born on February 7, 1954, in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and passed away on December 31, 2024. James was a charismatic and compassionate man, who brought joy and laughter to all those who were fortunate enough to know him. His loving spirit and thoughtful nature were the hallmarks of his character and will be greatly missed.

He relished his time as a member of many local clubs, most recently the Southend Club and found great joy in the camaraderie of his fellow members.

James could often be found watching the Yankees, Celtics or a Three Stooges marathon. However, there is nothing James loved more than his two grandchildren Jackson and Gianna. Nearly every morning and every night “Grampy” as they called him, would call just to check in, see how their games had gone, give a math test or even wager on a football or basketball game. They were his priority; this was evident by the countless photos of them plastered on his walls.
