Richard Albert "Dick" Boucher, 85, of Gate, Oklahoma, died Saturday, December 13, 2025, in Oklahoma City.  Dick was born November 9, 1940, to Albert Arsine Boucher and Jennie Matilda (Maki) Boucher in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.

Dick served for four years in the United States Navy as a machinist.  He worked at Simonds Saw and Steel for 28 years in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.  He served as the Union President for many years.

Dick and Joyce had three sons, Troy, Steve, and Bill.  He enjoyed coaching Little League baseball and Pop Warner football while the boys were growing up.  Some of his fondest memories were weekends spent at the camp with his family and his sister Sally's family, Ray, nieces JoAnn and Nancy, and nephew Bobby Laine.  Dick enjoyed those weekends so much.  He loved camping, playing golf and fishing.

In later years, Dick moved from Massachusetts to Gate, Oklahoma.  He served on the Water Board, helping improve his community.  He made many good friends in Gate and loved spending time with them.  His favorite evenings were spent by a fire in his backyard with family, friends, and his cats, Miracle and Bigfoot.  He loved all of his grandchildren very much and loved sharing stories with them.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Albert and Jennie Boucher; the mother of his children, Joyce Boucher; brother-in-law, Raymond Laine; and a daughter-in-law, Margo Dempsy.
