In Memory of Don Bouchard

February 11, 2008 -

Special Elf and all-around great guy Don Bouchard, VP of sales and marketing at Ultralink/XLO Products, died on Thursday, February 7, at the age of 58. As a staunch advocate for our foundation, we wish to extend our thoughts to his family and say that we will miss his vitality, wit and character.

Don was involved in serious motorcycle accident in December, and his injuries from that accident were too severe for him to recover. He is survived by his two children, Don III and Rebecca, his mother, Doris, his brothers Jeff and Mike, and his sister-in-laws Pam, Kathy and Lisa. He also leaves behind several nephews Jordan, Colin, Kyle, Travis, Mike Jr, Jacob and his niece Kayla.

Don started his career in the A/V industry in 1972, working with such companies as Ohm Acoustics, Dahlquist, Acoustic Research, Red Rose Music, Denon and Cello with Mark Levinson.

A service to celebrate Bouchard will be held the first weekend of March at Bryant’s Ice House in Katy, TX.

If you would like to contribute in memory of Don, his family requests donations be made in his name to the Elf Foundation. Please see our Donate page - all current donations are assumed to be being made in Don's name - for PayPal or mailing instructionis.

Finally, a quote from Don which was published by his friends at CE Pro:

Finite and Infinite.

The one commodity that I know we possess in only a finite quantity is Time. We have an infinite capacity for experience, for knowledge, for adventure, for stimulation, for pleasure, for joy, for passion, for love - limited only by time and temperament. Sooner or later, the clock will run out for all of us. I know that when that moment arrives for me; I will not welcome it. There will yet be, for me, books unread, wine un-drunk, meals uneaten, mountain roads un-ridden, reefs unexplored, desert vistas unappreciated, cigars un-smoked, friends unknown, sunsets unseen, love unfulfilled. Awareness of the ticking-clock nature of life causes me no distress. Rather, it enhances the experience and heightens my appreciation of every savored moment. But, though I will not leave here willingly, it will be with the certain knowledge that never did I pass upon the opportunity for these things. I shall never say “I only wish that I had done this or that when I could have”. For I did everything possible when I could do so. My only regret will be that I had not had additional time in which to do more.
