Donald Joseph Bouchard
May 30th, 1937 to February 2nd, 2022
Passed away to his heavenly home on February 2, 2022 in his 85th year, following a courageously fought battle with cancer. Coming from a large family, Don spent his early years in Ottawa. At an early age, he joined the military where he served a number of years in the RCAF, many in Trenton. The rest of his career was spent in corrections at Warkworth Penitentiary. Married to the love of his life in 1975, he shared with her his love of camping, fishing, birdwatching and travel. Coming to a powerful faith in Jesus Christ in the mid-1990’s, he developed a hunger for Bible knowledge, history, culture and archaeology. He was a prayer warrior and he practiced that gift until the end. He will be greatly missed by his son Don Bouchard Jr. of Carrying Place and stepchildren Bernadette (Neal) Campbell and Brent Barriault, both of Edmonton and Barbara (Tom) Hutchinson of Belleville. Dear Grandpa to Amy (Lawrence), Katy, Jesslyn (Brendan), Brittney (Katon), Heather (Dave), Josh (Bekah), Caleb (Joy) and Kristy (Brandon). Great-grandpa to Avery and Kane, Rosie and Robin, and Eleah. Predeceased by his loving wife Gretchen, his parents John and Alice and by seven of his nine siblings. Missing him greatly are his brother Willie (Claire) in BC and his sister Jenny, who spent many days at his bedside during his illness. A memorial service will be held at Parkdale Baptist Church on the 12th of Feb, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate memorial donations to one the following charities:
