He leaves behind his loving wife of almost 50 years, Susan (Dauphinais) Boucher; his two daughters, Cherie Dupont Kent and her husband Steven and Christi Chludenski and her husband Chet; his son, Scott Boucher and his fiancée Kristin Hofford; and his former son-in-law, Mike Dupont.

He was predeceased by his parents, Maurice and Florida (Tremblay) Boucher, and his sisters, Doris (Boucher) Tessier and Pauline (Boucher) Moran.
Upon graduation from Holy Name High School, he entered the military. Aime was a proud American and a veteran of the U.S. Navy, 2nd Class Radarman. After his honorable discharge in 1965, he pursued his Bachelor Degree from Worcester State College and began his career as a foreign language teacher at Worcester East Middle School where he had a positive impact on the lives of thousands of students in his 30 years of service in the Worcester Public Schools.
He was a lifelong learner who continued his education by obtaining his Master’s Degree from Assumption College and his CAGS in administration from Fitchburg State College at the same time his daughter Christi graduated with her Bachelor’s Degree. During his tenure, he took upon the role of Foreign Language Department Head, encouraging, supporting, and leading teachers to reach their potential. His work ethic was a model for his children.
Over the years, along with being a teacher, he was a night watchman, paper delivery man, beer pourer at Gillette Stadium and owner and operator of Clean Cut Lawn and Shrub Care, a landscaping business. After retirement in 2001, Aime continued to work. He worked at S & S Auto Parts before going to Herb Chambers Honda in Westborough as a valet, where he was still employed.
In his free time, he attended events for his grandchildren, was an avid reader, loved SUDOKU, cruising to Bermuda with his wife, going to Foxwoods, and cheering on his beloved Boston teams.
Friends, family, and acquaintances alike, will forever miss his smile, laughter, and “dad joke” sense of humor.
