It is with great sorrow that we announce the untimely passing of Alan
Christopher Boissy, 57, of Albuquerque, N.M., and formerly of
Winooski, Vt., on Friday, March 15, 2024. The husband of Karen
Sullivan Boissy and son of Blanche Boissy and the late Clayton
Boissy, he was born in Burlington, Vt., on November 8, 1966.
Alan grew up in
Winooski, Vt., and later moved to Albuquerque, N.M. He was a graduate
of Rice Memorial High school, Champlain College and Bellevue
University. He also served in the U.S. Army for many years and was a
combat veteran of Operation Desert Shield. He was a long-time
employee of Nikon Precision until his retirement in 2023.
He held many
interests, including gold prospecting, real estate investing, classic
car collecting, and traveling with friends and family. Alan was loved
by his family and friends. While he wasn’t the easiest person to
live or get along with, he always wanted the best for those he loved
and was always very protective of them.
His loss will be
felt deeply by his surviving family members, including his wife,
Karen Boissy; mother, Blanche Boissy; parents-in-law, Daniel and
Bonnie Sullivan; brother Aaron Boissy; sisters, Angela Sevigny and
