My memories of Joe Bolduc are wonderful, happy. He was larger than life in my eyes and in my heart, his sense of humor/laughter was amazing. His work ethic and strong sense of self confidence could not be matched by many a man. Joe enriched the lives of all who knew him,he always made things alot brighter, happier.
He and his lovely wife, who I adore raised the best bunch of people out there. Strong, hardworking and the love of their lives. I'm so sad to hear this news and I weep for your passing,but through my tears I see you plain as day laughing with your eyes sparkling so bright. Thinking of you all~
