     Bolduc, Robert "Bob"  68, of Boulder, CO, died March 18, 2012 at Select Specialty Hospital in Denver. A Celebration of Bob's Life will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Wed., April 4, 2012 at Mountain View United Methodist Church, 355 Ponca Place, Boulder, CO. Bob came to Colorado and soon met his wife-to-be, Susan, in 1979, which began the happiest and most fulfilling time in his life. Bob was born to Leo and Josephine Bolduc on June 28, 1943, in Newburgh, N.Y. There he spent his youth, where he loved playing baseball, which eventually led to his playing semi-pro ball. He graduated from Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and began his work with IBM while still a 19 year old college student. In his spare time, Bob worked as a NY cab driver; this skill was indispensable while navigating the streets of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, as a vacationer later in life. He was proud of his service as a volunteer firefighter in Newburgh, as well as his time spent as a U.S. Air Force Reservist. Bob transferred to Boulder with IBM in the 1970s and retired from that facility with 30 years of service. He worked in several departments throughout his career, but most enjoyed his time as a Disaster Recovery expert. After his IBM retirement, he performed the same type of work for Coors, in Golden for five years. Bob's love of baseball as a youth translated into coaching Little League Baseball in Boulder when his sons began to play; he dedicated twelve years to this passion. Bob thoroughly enjoyed fishing and boating at the Rod and Gun Club near his home, as well as snowmobiling up in the mountains. Anyone who knew Bob knew that he loved traveling to Las Vegas or Blackhawk, closer to home, to play the slot machines; he seemed to have incredibly good luck whenever he played. For many years, Bob enjoyed active memberships in the American Legion and the Elks Club of Boulder. Sue and Bob took many wonderful trips together, including vacations in Mexico, Alaska, and Hawaii, and often included family or close friends. They also were frequent concert-goers and attended many wonderful shows together, Neil Diamond and Cirque de Soleil being amongst their favorites. Bob's dogs were always his trusty companions, providing hours of entertainment and bringing much joy. Survivors: his loving wife, Susan, his daughter, Leanne Lukenbill (husband, Mike, and daughters Emma and Grace), and his sons, Revan MacQueen (wife, Melissa, and daughters Jessie and Charlotte) and Andrew MacQueen (wife, Jennifer, and daughters Riley and Kayla). Bob was preceded in death by his parents and brother. He will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by his family and friends. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to HospiceCare of Boulder and Broomfield Counties, 2594 Trailridge Dr., Lafayette, CO 80026 or to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, 2323 55th St., Boulder, CO 80301.

Newburgh, New York
Panel 15W Line 117

The 22 Nov 1969 incidents mentioned above involved the loss of two aircraft and three of four crewmen:
In A-6A BuNo 155613:
Cdr L W Richards, picked up
LTJG Richard C Deuter

In A-6A BuNo 155607:
LCDR Richard F Collins,
LT Michael E Quinn
In "Vietnam Air Losses" Chris Hobson offers the following description of Lieutenant Brooks' loss in A-6A BuNo 152937:
"Two Intruders were dispatched on a raid on a storage dump near the Mu Gia Pass in southern Laos under the control of a USAF FAC. As LT Fryar made his second 40 degree dive on the target the aircraft was seen to explode at about 5400 feet and the starboard wing separated from the aircraft. Two good parachutes were seen by both the FAC and the other Intruder crew. . . . One of the crew was seen lying on the ground still attached to his parachute. A pararescueman was lowered to the ground and tried to attach a hoist to the airman, who was identified as LT Fryar and was apparently dead, but heavy ground fire forced the helicopter away and the pararescueman only just escaped with his life. . . . Encroaching darkness put an end to further rescue attempts that day . . ."
When SAR efforts began again at dawn on 03 Jan LT Fryar's body and parachute had been removed. Although intermittent emergency radio "beeper" signals were heard, no contact of any kind was made with LT Brooks. Both men were classed as Missing in Action.
On 03 Feb 1982, Nicholas Brooks' remains were repatriated, with positive identification announced on 04 Mar 1982. At his family's request, his remains were buried at sea on March 25, 1982.

Bruce Fryar's remains have not been repatriated.

Posted by Fats  Nick,     It's been 45 years since we last saw each other in the halls of Newburgh Free Academy enjoying our youth. Since I came home from my Navy tour I have often thought of you and have kept you in my prayers, especially on our Veterans and Memorial days. They have so much meaning to me these days as I remember you and say my prayers. Your old friends and classmates will never forget you. I don’t know who was the most popular back then, you or Jack Wolpe. You both were always modest while remaining the center of attention. You were always smiling and taking the lead in everything you became involved with. I want to thank you for defending our freedom in a time when that wasn’t important to a lot of Americans. These were the same patriots that waved flags and cheered when 52 hostages arrived in Newburgh from Iran in the 80’s. Not a one of them was around for you or the other Vets when they came home from Nam. Some things can take a lifetime to be forgotten or forgiven. May the perpetual light always shine upon you my friend.

Born October 31, 1942 in Newburgh, he was the son of the late Albert and Catherine Grace McKay Sr. Al was employed by Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corp. for 33 years. He proudly served his country in the US Navy. He served as past president of Meadow Hill Homeowners Association, was manager of the Town of Newburgh Little League for many years, was a member of BPOE Elks in Newburgh and Calabash, N.C., served on the planning board of Carolina Shores, and was a member of American Legion in Calabash, N.C. In early 1999 he retired to Carolina Shores, N.C., and built his dream home. He was an avid golfer and fisherman who loved his pontoon boat. He also enjoyed bowling and playing softball and baseball in the City of Newburgh. Mostly, his family was most precious to him, especially his 3 granddaughters who will sorely miss their "Papa". He was a totally unselfish, benevolent and loving man who touched and blessed the lives of everyone who knew him, both young and old. His sense of humor and love of life were contagious to everyone around him. His year long battle with cancer and its accompanying complications showed his true heroic, courageous spirit and strong sense of fortitude and bravery. Knowing that his suffering is over and that he is at peace with God gives us who love him some comfort and the strength to continue his legacy of making the world a better place.
