BOARDMAN: James Rogers , 60, of 46 Cherry St., St. Johnsbury, died unexpectedly at his camp in Granby, Oct. 29, 2004. He was born in St. Johnsbury, Oct. 20, 1944, to Gordon and Shirley (Rogers) Boardman. He attended St. Johnsbury schools and graduated from St. Johnsbury Academy in 1962. He was inducted into the Navy in 1962 and was stationed at the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Fla. A car accident in 1967 left him partially disabled. A stroke in 2003 added to his disability. Jim's various health issues had complicated his life for many years. Jim worked in a variety of jobs, but preferred being his own boss. His quick wit and great sense of humor were very entertaining, whether he was telling a story or involved in a practical joke. He knew how to do many things and enjoyed many areas of interest including motorcycles, the outdoors and hunting. His truck was immaculately cared for. The stone walls he built reflect the perfection he sought. He was interested in local history and antiques. Spending time with his friends and at his camp in Granby were his greatest pleasures. Jim was fiercely independent and lived his life his own way. He is survived by his mother, Shirley Boardman; two sisters, Bonnie Griffin and Julie Boardman; a sister-in-law, Fran Boardman; four aunts, Dorothy Cimino of Newark, Del., Vivian Freeman of Orange, Vt., Frieda Powell of Bushnell, Fla., and Phyllis Powers of Lyndonville, Vt.; four nieces, Aryn Holloway and husband Blaine, Michelle Griffin and friend Lee Smith, Elaine Ducharme and husband Anthony, and Norene Menard and her husband Stephen Johnson; three nephews, Callan Boardman, Lance Boardman Jr. and wife Angela, and Brendan Boardman; and numerous grandnieces and grandnephews. He was predeceased by his father, Gordon Boardman; a brother, Lance Boardman; and a brother-in-law, Michael Griffin. Jim is also survived by his many loving and loyal friends. A memorial service will be held Saturday, Nov. 6, 2004, at 2 p.m., at the North Congregational Church in St. Johnsbury with the Rev. Jay Sprout officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jim's memory to your favorite charity.
