On April 1, 2021, Paul Frederic Boulden Senior passed away at Saint Vincent’s Hospital in Billings, Montana. Paul was 77 years old.
Paul was born June 22, 1943, in Rochester, New York, the son of Frederick and Ruth (Chase) Boulden. He grew up in Avon, New York graduating from Avon High School in 1961. He joined the Army in January of 1962 and received an honorable discharge after actively serving for 3 years.
Paul was a truly kind person who loved his family and friends dearly. He married the love of his life, Julie Wright, on February 16, 1974 and they were happily married for 47 years. Paul had two children, Tammy and Paul, Jr. from a previous marriage. He enjoyed going for “Sunday” drives and spending time with his family. He loved rooting for Richard Petty in Nascar and the Miami Dolphins in pro football. Paul had a passion for Bald Eagles and the American flag. Paul considered one of his greatest accomplishments to be his children and grandchildren.
Paul made his main career as a drywaller in construction. Later in life, Paul became an avid volunteer, and this was reflected in all the volunteer positions that he held. They included East Avon Volunteer Fireman, COPS, CERT, Holy Rosary Hospital through RSVP and helping coach the girls’ summer softball league. He was given the honor of being a Lifetime Member of E. Avon Volunteer Fireman’s Association.
