My condolences to the extended family of Mr. Boardman. This wish is especially dedicated to my dear friend Jennifer and her family. While I did not know "Pop" - I know of many blessings in his life. To his long and faithful wife he was a true companion; to his daughter Lynn, a loving father; to Jen and her children - a doting grandfather; and to his friends he was a man of great standing. May his memory be for a blessing!

Although it has been many years since we've seen each other I remember the great times we shared hanging at each others houses on Burnham St, our Bat Mitzvah, and other fun times. My condolences to you and your family. Your Dad was always a great person to be around
