Roland F. "Bo" Boivin, 67, of Acton passed away on June 1st, 2024, surrounded by his family. He was born on January 23, 1957 in Sanford, ME to Louis and Jeanne (Bernier) Boivin. He graduated from Lewiston High School in 1975 and went on to learn the trade of fiber optic splicing. Bo and his best friend Ron opened Great Northern Splicers, becoming one of the first independent fiber splicing contractors in the state. Until his retirement in 2022, he remained active in the telecommunications field. Bo married his wife Janet (Payeur) on June 9th, 1984 in Sanford. Together they enjoyed traveling, spending time at their camp in Rangeley and most recently their home on Mousam Lake. Over the years they took on many projects together, including building 3 homes and their camp. Bo was certainly a jack-of-all-trades, there was no project he wouldn't tackle. He would always gladly lend a hand to his family, friends and neighbors. One of the biggest things he cherished was his family. He and Janet raised 2 beautiful daughters, Meghan and Kaitlyn. He was a hands-on dad, never shying away from cooking dinner, cleaning up or picking the girls up from practice. In 2018, their first grandchild Kylie was born. This welcomed the "Pep"-era to his life. His grandchildren Kylie, Tessa, Liam and Nolan loved their Pep. There were many days when Pep's daycare opened up at a moment's notice for snow or sick days. These grandchildren brought so much joy to his retirement. Bo will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Janet and their 2 daughters; Kaitlyn (Nick) Palmer and Meghan Boivin (Marc Blake). His grandchildren Kylie and Liam, Tessa and Nolan. He is survived by his brother Ronnie and sister Doris (Michael) Bernier. Bo was also blessed with many wonderful in-laws, nieces and nephews. A Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, June 14, 2024 at 10 AM at St Therese of Lisieux Parish, 66 North Ave, Sanford, ME.
