Roland Boudreau
September 3, 1934 — October 24, 2015
Waltham – Mr. Roland Boudreau, of Waltham, died Saturday, October 24, 2015 at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. He was 81.
Roland was born on September 3, 1934 in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, a son of the late Camille and Doris (LeBlanc) Boudreau, and was raised in nearby Memramcook. In 1961 he and his wife Gladys moved to Waltham where they raised their family and have been residents since.
Until his retirement Roland worked as a welder and pipefitter for the TG Gallagher Company of Cambridge and was a member of Local No. 537.
Golf became a passion in later years and Roland could be found almost every weekday on the course, often at his favorite, the Leo J. Martin Golf Memorial Golf Course in Weston. In addition to spending time on the links he enjoyed sports of all kind, especially hockey and baseball.
Roland and Gladys enjoyed traveling a great deal. A highlight for both of them was a trip to Australia and New Zealand to celebrate Roland's retirement.
