He enjoyed growing his tomatoes, traveling, spending time at his cottage in Wareham and canoeing. He loved his pets, particularly his dogs, “Terry” and “Topaz”. His greatest joy were his “3 girls”: His beloved wife Lorraine M. (Aker), Susan of Duxbury and Pamela of Los Angeles, CA. He was predeceased by his 2 brothers, Edward and Thomas Boudrot.

Pam,
We are sorry for your family’s loss. He was one of Andy’s most memorable and favorite teachers. We will see you some time this week. Our prayers are with you.
I remember Mr.B as a patient teacher. His low key way of presenting material made learning easy. His smile when students came up with right answers would light up his entire face.
The world is diminished by his passing.
My Deepest Sympathy, you are all in my thoughts. Steven
We’re sure right there with you all in spirit – thinking about you every day – Mike, Garry, Patti, Alicia, Matt, Alex, Jameson, Jeff
Aunt Lorraine, Susan & Pammy,
Memories of the cottage has been flooding my mind! John & I will miss Uncle Dick! He made us laugh!!
We are reaching out from Kansas, thinking of you with prayers & love. I’m hoping to get there to be with you all. Much love!
You have been a such a great neighbor over the years. Your family is in our prayers.You will be missed. The Stapleton Family.
I have very fond memories of Mr. Boudrot – whether it would be in Dedham, Wareham or camping. He was always such a “patient” man……especially since he was always out numbered with the amount of females coming in and out all the time.
He is now at peace and is not suffering anymore. God Bless the Boudrot family. You are all in my prayers.

We had some good trips together.
Dick and I were on the same aircrew in Japan.
When I started teaching at Riverdale School in 1996, Dick and I were the only male teachers, and we became friends as well as team members. I respected him in both capacities. I met his wife on many occasions, and I visited his home when one of his daughters was an infant. Teachers and students will miss him, but they will not forget him.

I haven’t seen Dick in many many years, but I have talked to him a few times in the last couple of years. I remember him always having a easy smile and a kind word. We shared many times together as flight crew members of the Bully Beef Sq. in Japan. I wish all his family well and God bless. Marv Albers Lodi, California
Mrs Boudrot, Pammy & Susan. I was so sorry to learn of Mr Boudrot’s passing. I will always remember the Christmas I spent with you guys in Boston. My first and only White Christmas.

Mr. Boudrot was my 6th grade teacher at Riverdale back in 84-85. He was a man full of patience and care for his students. I remember his stories about his time in Korea.

I just found out about Mr. Boudrot’s passing. I am so sorry for your loss. He was one of my favorite teachers at Riverdale. I still remember some of his wonderful stories. He made me feel valued as a student and I have nothing but fond memories thinking about the times spent in his classroom.
