Condolences
Sir,
We shall meet in Fiddler's Glen where your pipe is always full and the music never ends.
From an Old Cav Trooper
We are also part of the Beaver Dam State Park camping group from St. Louis that became such good friends with Bob and Marge. We all enjoyed their company, the special relationship they had with our group, would say it was a loving relationship. I will never forget at 10:00 how Bob would pull up to our campsite and play taps for us. God Bless America Bob! He was man who loved his family and his country, no doubt about that. Our camping group has continued to talk about Marge (who we loved dearly) and Bob often, even though they have not been present for a few years now. I am sure they will always be in our minds and part of our Pink Flamingo Cocktail Club yearly campout at Beaver Dam. Rest in peace Sir...........

I will always have fond memories of Bob (and Marge) and the many conversations we shared while camping at Beaver Dam State Park. Bob had many firm beliefs and deep convictions. He had a deep love of both this country and his wife of over 50 years. I believe that our group had a lot in common with Bob and Marge. Several in our group were educators and Bob (and Marge) believed in the value of a good education. Some in our group had children in the military and Bob always asked about him and how they were doing.
I am honored to have known them and am happy to have called them my friends.
I will miss Bob and the many discussions we had while camping. I know he is with Marge and that is where he would want to be.
May they rest in peace, together.

Bob and Marge were the hosts that became our true friends at Beaver Dam State Park. We looked forward to our yearly conclave in September, knowing we would be welcomed by the Bouldins, who took great personal pride in the park. They knew they had a standing invitation to our Saturday evening meals, and we looked forward to their stories. (And a new joke that Marge always had for us.) Even after retiring as hosts, they continued to visit us at camp. We will remember Bob for his pride and dedication, first to Marge, and next to his country. He set an example for us all.

To all of the Bouldin families; I don't know where to begin, Bob and Marje were such an important part of my growing up in Girard. They were fierce and true friends that you could always depend on. They were people that I always looked up to and respected deeply. I will miss the conversations. I will miss the laughter and the opinions and all the really great times I was privileged to share with them. I am really grateful for the time I was able to spend with them as well as all three of the Bouldin Brothers. What great friendship that even though time and distance and life takes us in different directions, and different callings, I still hold very dear and near to my heart. You all have my deepest sympathies. I know Bob and Marje have gone on to a heavenly eternity. No more worries. With that being said, we must all carry on. May God bless you.

Bob joined us in the early days at the Federal Disability Program while we were still located in the Ridgely Building and was great addition to the agency. He was very good as an adjudicator - precise and never afraid to make a decision. Everyone enjoyed his company and his stories. He left the agency to teach and I am sure his students learned a lot under his tutelage. He was very active in the Blackburn College Board. He was very proud of his wife and family. We who remain will remember his positive attitude and his personality. We will miss him!
I met Bob (and Marge) at Beaver Dam State Park when they served as campground hosts. They became good friends of our camping group, The Pink Flamingos, over the years, taking special care of us and joining us for many meals and stories around the campfire. Bob made sure TAPS was played in the campground every evening, and we all looked forward to that.
Many of you know Bob loved to write short stories; most centered around the military, God and love for a wonderful girl........, he would email them to me to read and critique. They always made me smile because I knew he was the guy and Marge was the girl.
Bob so loved Marge, his family and his country. Rest In Peace Bob, you left a lasting impression on us all. ♥️
My thoughts and prayers for the entire Bouldin family! Mr. Bouldin was a great example to all of his students that he taught over the years on how to be an outstanding person and a true hero protecting us all! God bless you and may you rest in peace!
My uncle and I interviewed Mr. Bouldin for the Veteran's History Project a few years back. After the interview, we went as a group to the soda fountain in Girard to chat and get something to eat. He and his wife, Marjorie, were so kind, hospitable and intelligent. I enjoyed that small snippet of time with them greatly. He was a great man who will be missed. My prayers go out to his family during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Mr. Bouldin.
I am thankful that the Bouldens’ made Girard their home. Each had a big personality that always made them interesting to talk with. May God bless their sons and families.
Thank You Sir for making our Country Safe - Rest In Heaven!!!!!
Paul and Family I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad.
Was a great teacher and I loved to listen to his stories of him during his service.
I’m very sorry to hear of your family’s loss.
I have no doubt that Mr. Bouldin made a difference in so many lives. I was one of his many 6th grade students and I am sure he had some influence on my decision to join the military.
What a blessing that he was able to enjoy so many years of a well- deserved retirement. May he rest well.
Prayers for the Bouldin Family.
I loved Me. Bouldin, he was my 6th grade teacher, he was a great teacher and a wonderful man, I'm do sorry for your loss.
I loved and feared both Mr. and Mrs. Bouldin. They were both great educators and leaders. As a new teacher they were bigger than life to me. I learned so much from this couple. Too their families, I’m sorry for your loss but Bob touched so very many lives.
