James A. Boucher

James A. Boucher, age 88, of Penns Grove, NJ, passed away peacefully with his family at his bedside on March 16, 2018. Mr. Boucher served in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force for a total of 21 years. He was a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam Wars. He was affectionately known by many as Shoo Shoo or Daddy Jim. Mr. Boucher was a man that gave so much of himself to others. He selflessly cared for his wife, Peggy for many years. He will always be remembered for his kind, gentle demeanor and his silly noises and limericks. He enjoyed spending time at his home on the Delaware River, his many dogs, Coors Light, and the Philadelphia Eagles. Mr. Boucher was predeceased by his loving wife Margaret (Peggy), his grandson, Marc Boucher, his parents: Lawrence W. and Grace E. Boucher, and his brothers: Robert, Richard, Lawrence and William. He is survived by his children: James Michael (Christine), Charles (Janice), Jean Marie (Jackson), David (Caroline) and John (Becky); grandchildren: Matthew Boucher (Dawn), Charlie Boucher (Rebecca), Candis Campbell (Bruce), Justin Pietro, David Boucher (Ashley), Arielle Boucher, and Morgan Boucher; great-grandchildren: Peyton, Marlie, Cameron, Logan, Alyssa and Jeremy Boucher, and Cole and Leah Campbell. Relatives and Friends are invited for visitation/memorial on Sunday, March 25th at Ashcraft Funeral Home; 47 State Street; Penns Grove, NJ 08069. Visitation is at 4:00 p.m. followed by a memorial service at 5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made in honor of Mr. Boucher to Bayada Hospice; 603 North Broad Street-Suite 301; Woodbury, NJ 08096 or Alzheimer’s Association; www.act.alz.org/donate www.ashcraftfuneralhomes.com
