Robert Page Boudreau ’43

Body

Bob died at his home in Skaneateles, N.Y., Sept. 30, 2003, following a long illness. He was 82.

A native of Syracuse, Bob attended Manlius Pebble Hill School and Phillips Exeter Academy. He graduated from Princeton cum laude, and earned his medical degree from Syracuse U. College of Medicine.

During WWII, Bob served as an Army medical officer, first attending Jump School to become a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division.

Returning to civilian life, he interned in pathology and radiology, subsequently becoming the first chief of radiology at Community General in Syracuse. Twenty years later, he left to open private offices in two nearby communities to provide patients a more personal and concerned level of care.

Bob is survived by his wife of 56 years, the former Elizabeth Davis; daughters Elizabeth and Kathleen; sons Robert Jr., Edward, and Michael; and an adopted Ghanaian son, Alexander Tetteh. To the entire family, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences.
