Raymond Peter Boulanger passed away, surrounded by family while in hospice care, on November 3, 2025, after a decade-long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. He was 81.

Ray was born in Northampton, MA, on April 26, 1944, to Raymond Louis Boulanger and Georgette Bessette Boulanger. He attended Williston Northampton school, where he played baseball and football, but his focus was on academics. He graduated fourth in his class with highest honors. At a mixer during high school, he met Maureen Reardon, who would become his wife until she passed away in 2022. After high school, Ray attended Trinity College in Hartford, CT, majoring in Economics, ranking third in his class, and earning Phi Beta Kappa honors. He was also the backup catcher on the varsity baseball team. Ray earned his Masters in Economics from the University of Michigan, before applying to law school.

Ray and Maureen married on May 6, 1967 and later moved to New Haven, CT, where Ray attended Yale Law School through Army ROTC. Ray was a member of the Yale Law Journal. After law school, they moved to Alexandria, VA, where Ray served as a Captain in the Army and Judge Advocate General at the Pentagon. While in Alexandria, their son, Cort, was born in 1971. In 1973, the growing family moved to Arlington, MA, where daughter, Brittanny was born.

Ray’s legal career started in 1973 at Goodwin Procter, with a promotion to associate partner in 1978. At his 2016 retirement party, colleagues celebrated Ray’s contributions to building Goodwin Procter into a thriving national firm. At Goodwin, Ray’s clients included some of the nation’s largest financial services firms – including Fidelity and State Street – and his expert guidance helped grow Boston’s nascent mutual fund industry into a global powerhouse. He also taught advanced seminars in corporate law at Yale Law School and Boston University School of Law.

In 1975, the family moved to Winchester, which remained home for more than 40 years. Ray was an avid Red Sox fan whose fandom was best described as perpetual hope peppered with daily doomerism. While he did rejoice when the Sox finally broke the curse in 2004, neither that nor the three subsequent titles changed his outlook as a Red Sox fan. Ray lived out his own big league dreams at Red Sox fantasy camp in 2005. He relished participating in spring training in Florida, hobnobbing with Sox greats, but the highlight was the game at Fenway Park. With friends and family in the stands, Ray knocked a single to center and played solid defense behind the plate.

Ray traveled with Maureen to New Zealand, France, Scandinavia, Ireland, and more. An avid jogger, Ray transitioned to hiking in his 50s, with treks in the Andes, Alps, Himalayas, and other high-altitude locales. In the early 1990s, Maureen and Ray bought a vacation home in Scarborough, ME. The home became a haven for the entire family, creating lifetime memories for his grandchildren. After Maureen’s passing, Ray moved to Maine full-time, taking long walks on the beach and visiting the gym daily. Ray supported many philanthropies, including A Better Chance, Rosie’s Place, and Framingham State University, for which he served as a trustee.

Ray leaves two children, Cort Boulanger of Middlebury, VT and Dr. Brittanny Boulanger, who lives in Winchester with husband, Dr. Todd O’Brien. He will be deeply missed by his grandchildren, Liam O’Brien, Niamh O’Brien, Callan Boulanger and Mac Boulanger. Ray is joined in eternal life with Maureen and their granddaughter, Tilly Boulanger, who passed away in a tragic accident in 2019. Ray is survived by his brother, Edward Boulanger; and sister, Avis Ashton; his in-laws and numerous nieces and nephews.

On November 21, at 10:00 a.m., Ray’s life will be celebrated with a Mass at St. Mary’s Church in Winchester, before a private Interment with military honors. A reception at the Winchester Country Club will follow.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to the Tilly Boulanger Foundation, which celebrates the life of Ray’s beloved granddaughter – and their shared love of learning and the outdoors, tillyboulangerfoundation.org or consider supporting the Greater Boston Food Bank in this time of need, https://my.gbfb.org/give

Randall (“Lee”) Barnard of Bluffton, SC passed away peacefully at his home in Sun City on November 27, 2024, at age 76.

Lee is survived by his brothers Wayne (and Jackie) Barnard of Ellenton, Florida, and Chris (and Ellen) Barnard of Rock Hill, South Carolina, as well as his many nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews. Lee was predeceased by his parents Robert and Frances Barnard of Summerville, South Carolina.

Lee was a one-of-a-kind, reliably independent person. Never married or a parent, he lived the traditional baby boomer life in reverse – traveling extensively first, then settling down to a working career.

Lee was born August 6, 1948 in Rochester, New York. After being raised in Connecticut, he graduated from Tulane University in 1970 with a degree in biochemistry. He then worked long hours at a factory in Fairfield, Connecticut in order to save enough money to start on what would become a decades long international exploration. From late 1971 to 1982, Lee traveled throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and most of southeast Asia. He stayed in hostels, under the stars with fellow wanderers, and enjoyed a long two-continent tour in a used VW bus he bought in Europe.

In 1982, Lee had a 42 foot yacht built to his specifications in Taiwan. He then spent the next 14+ years sailing around the world – literally. He circumnavigated the globe twice, including two solo passages through the treacherous Straits of Magellan at the southern tip of South America. During this journey, he would at various times stop for months to earn some money – including at a water treatment plant in South Africa, at a sheep ranch in New Zealand, and at a tuna processing plant in Indonesia (he built housing for the factory workers). Not wanting to upset his mom Fran, he waited until his stateside return to share with his family his maritime experiences fending off icebergs, submerged shipping containers and Cambodian pirates.

Then, after 25 years, Lee decided that he had had enough of world travel and the seafaring life and so returned to the USA in 1996, settling in Beaufort, South Carolina (where his parents then lived). Shortly after his return, he put to use his college degree by joining the Hilton Head Public Service District (PSD) as a laboratory chemist. He worked for PSD for 24 years, retiring in 2022 as the Laboratory Manager.

Lee moved from Beaufort to Sun City in 2007. Although he was not a golfer or tennis player, Lee enjoyed Sun City and was always ready to help friends and neighbors (having owned a yacht for many years, Lee could repair any and all things). Being a single fellow, he would often volunteer to be on duty at the PSD on holidays, so his co-workers could spend Thanksgiving or Christmas with their families.

Some will say that it was a shame that Lee passed away alone at his home. But his family knows this is exactly how Lee wanted to move on to his next adventure – no fuss or bother. Lee died without ever owning a smartphone and with a 17 year old car sitting in his garage.

The family will arrange a memorial event in Lee’s honor at a future date.

Thomas Crosby of North Marshfield, MA, passed away unexpectedly, on July 22, 2025, at age 77. Tom is survived by his wife, Judy Crosby; and his daughters, Amy Remling and Kerri Bouchard. He will be deeply missed and forever loved by his family and friends. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday. Burial will be at a later date. Donations in Tom’s memory may be made to MGH and Clift Rodgers Library.

Roland (Rick) F. Wehger, age 80, of Shelton, Connecticut, peacefully entered into rest in his home on April 17, 2025. He is the beloved husband of 51 years of Diana (Keely) Wehger. Rick was born in Bridgeport on June 16, 1944, son of the late Roland T. and Florence (Berger) Wehger, and lived in Shelton for 51 years. Rick is also predeceased by his sister Judith Henderson.

He graduated from Roanoke College with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and went on to have a successful career in IT management within the pharmaceutical industry before his retirement.

He had a diverse range of talents and interests. Rick was a diving enthusiast with NAUI Advanced Diver certification, was an avid fly fisherman and outdoorsman, and was an accomplished guitarist. He was a member of Shelton’s Olde Ripton Garden Club, serving on the Hospitality Committee and as Club Photographer. Rick was an animal lover and a friend to everyone he met.

He is the beloved father of Kimberly Ann Wehger and Eric Evan Wehger and his wife Dr. Ying Yu. He is also survived by his sister, Sue Jefferys and her husband Dr. William, nephews Tom Jefferys, Mark Jefferys and his wife Jenna, and Jeffery Henderson and his wife Heather and her child Ainsley.

Friends may greet the family at the Riverview Funeral Home, 390 River Road, Shelton, on Thursday, April 24, 2025 from 4 to 7 PM. A Celebration of Life Service will be announced and held later in the Spring.

Memorial contributions are requested to the American Cancer Society.

Wentworth Lawrence Durgin died April 23, 2025 in his sleep. He was born on August 26,1948 the son of Eunice King Durgin and the Reverend Lawrence Lazelle Durgin. Father to Larry (deceased) and Sarah. He is survived by his sister Katherine “Kit” Durgin.

Worthy spent his childhood in Providence, Rhode Island. At 12 his family moved to New York City. In 1968 Worthy graduated from Williston Academy. He received his BA from the University of North Carolina, and later his MDiv from Yale Divinity School.

During Worthy’s career he held senior positions in fundraising with a variety of non-profits. Upon retirement from nonprofit work in Greensboro, North Carolina, Worthy moved to Raleigh in 2005 to care for Eunice, his mother. It was in Raleigh that Worthy found Anita Deters, the love of his life, who helped him get back on his feet and supported him in all his creative endeavors. Worthy enjoyed writing poetry and was most proud of his published book of poems, “Steps and Missteps”. Worthy was active in men’s work such as The Mankind Project.

Worthy’s positiveness, his sense of humor and his deep desire to help others who struggle will be missed. Worthy’s presence left the world a bit better than it was.

The son of Marylou and Orman Curtis, Richard was blessed in a family with sister Barbara ’61, who predeceased him, and brother Jeffrey. Growing up in Easthampton, MA was idyllic with friends, winter and summer activities and sports, Boy Scouts, camping, initiation into work life (picking corn and veggies for a local farmer and delivering a daily paper after school) and travel with the family.

He attended Williston Academy, graduated from Dartmouth College, and completed graduate work at Georgetown before being drafted into the Army in 1969. Choosing to enlist for 3 years for language school, a most fortuitous choice as he continued to use some of the Portuguese in later years teaching English as a second language. Army service followed no straight path, but after stints in New Jersey, California, Texas, and Maryland, Richard spent a most enjoyable 13 months in Korea.

On return he moved to Colorado to accept a position with the Civil Service Commission giving him work access to the 6 mountain states, and later with the National Park Service in Denver- another fortunate move. The work involved travel to the national parks in 6 states to work, evaluate, and enjoy many of the natural and historical wonders of these national parks. Old man soccer became his passion spring and fall.

In Denver he met and in 1974 he married his loved Donna Greenfield, and together they rehabbed an old Denver Square home, explored the great neighborhoods of that vibrant city, visited her relatives and now mine in the Kansas City area, and began a delightful association with Rocky Mountain National Park, hiking every year from Grand Lake on the western side.

Vacation visits to Cape Cod (MA) to visit Barbara and spouse Ellis ’51 resulted in a move here in 2002, to a wonderful home in Brewster. We joined First Parish Brewster, a most welcoming UU church, toured Italy (especially) with friends, and loved the beaches and opportunities to get to know and appreciate better Barbara and Ellis.

Health problems forced a move to a senior center, and then to a more supportive facility. Later years dealt with additional health concerns, but these years with Donna have been some of the very best possible.

Quoting an unknow author: “The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved.” Richard’s loss of so many friends and family is deeply felt pain, and he thanks you all for being a part of him.

Lee Allen MacVaugh, longtime resident of Washington, DC passed away peacefully at home on January 17, 2024.

Lee was born October 4, 1941 in Cleveland, OH and educated at Ohio Wesleyan and American University.

As an educator and avid reader, he shared his love of history and economics with many students over the years at Sidwell Friends School and several others in the DC area. He loved teaching and playing and coaching tennis. He also taught summer courses at Georgetown University and was a substitute at Woodrow Wilson High School until his retirement.

Much loved and adored by his family, Lee is survived by daughter Ashley Paine MacVaugh, son Dugan Francis MacVaugh and sister Melissa Lee.

David Stanton “ Zack” Gould, born November 26, 1945 in Worcester, Massachusetts, died December 29, 2024.

Zack spent five years at Williston Academy where he lettered in soccer and lacrosse. He attended the University of Massachusetts and settled in Woods Hole, Massachusetts long enough to become a skilled, and eventually, itinerant mason. Zack lived in Cambridge until an amiable divorce prompted moving to Santa Fe, where he got married, acquiring two fine daughters as well as his wife, Mechele. Along with fireplaces, he became a skillful jeweler and was fine guitar player.

Lung and bone cancer did him in. It is not a cliche to state that he died surrounded by his family without undue pain.
