James H. Boudreau, age 43, of Trumbull, died on Wednesday, June 1, 2005 after a long battle with diabetes and kidney disease. Born in Bridgeport on June 5, 1961, he was the son of Joseph E. and Arline Chapman Boudreau of Trumbull.

Jim graduated from Trumbull High School in 1980 and from Porter and Chester Institute with a Certificate in Architectural Auto CAD. He worked for 20 years in the automotive business and local architectural firms until his illness made that impossible. He was an avid Mets baseball fan and Jets fan. He had an extensive baseball memorabilia collection. He loved playing his drums with his brothers band and loved the Rolling Stones.

In addition to his parents, Joe and Arline, he is survived by a brother, Thomas Boudreau and his wife, Nancy of Ansonia, a sister, Karen Crane and brother-in-law Robert, nephews, Ryan and Dan Crane and several aunts, uncles and cousins.

He was a loving son, brother, uncle and friend. If you were lucky to be his friend, you were his friend forever.
