He is survived by 3 sons, Roger Boudle of Nashua, NH, Paul Boudle of Kentucky, and Freddie Boudle of Indiana; a brother, Paul Boudle of Florida; many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews; his very good friends and caregivers, Trudy & Jay Stuart of Groveton; as well as his faithful canine companion, Jimbo. John is predeceased by an infant son, John; a son, Ronald; four brothers, William, Jimmy, Vernard and George “Tuffy” Boudle; and two sisters, Christina Day and Edith Stevenson.
