Paul W. Aubuchon

Paul Aubuchon of Leominster, Massachusetts, August 1, 1932 - August 20, 2024. 

Paul’s life was defined by his love of family and his faith. He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Jeannette (Bouchard). Paul was an Atomic Veteran who served in the Marshall Islands in 1954 as a part of Operation Castle. Following his military service, he was a production manager who retired from Union Products in 1994. 

His work ethic was evident in everything he did, from his meticulous attention to detail to his unwavering commitment to excellence. He was an accomplished athlete throughout his life, enjoying softball, basketball, and running. If you knew him, you probably benefited from his woodworking shop. He was a skilled artisan and “fixer”, claiming all his work came with a lifetime guarantee. 

His dedication extended into his deep involvement with St. Cecilia’s Church where he volunteered for many years and managed the church bingo and annual holiday fairs. His faith was a cornerstone of his life, and along with his late wife, Jeannette, he was awarded the Parish Ministry Award for St. Cecilia’s in the Jubilee Year of 2000. He was a familiar face at the Leominster High Football Games, where he worked in the ticket booth with his brother Gerard for several decades. He also notably served his community as a Little League coach and umpire. 

Paul was the heart of his family, and was always present for every event, supporting and encouraging his children and grandchildren through all their endeavors, no matter how small. He is survived by his daughters, Ellen (Ron) Tourigny, Cathy (Dave) LaRoche, Lorrie Aubuchon; son, Paul (Deb) Aubuchon; grandchildren, Jeffrey Aubuchon, Brian Seamans, Thomas Seamans, Melanie Tourigny, Jason Aubuchon, Carly LaRoche, Jennifer Aubuchon, and great-grandchildren Morgan Seamans and Jackson Tourigny. He is also survived by brothers Gerard, Robert, Ernest, Ronald Aubuchon, and his dear friend Anita Frechette. In addition to his wife, Paul was predeceased by his siblings Andre, Iris, and Roger Aubuchon, as well as dear friends Ray and Geraldine Aubuchon.
