With heavy hearts, we are saddened to announce the passing of Louie James "Jim" Boude on December 7, 2025. As many know, Jim was a retiree of GE Aviation where he dedicated 35+ years of his life. He was an active member at Ascension and Holy Trinity Church as well as St. Timothy's on Beechmont Avenue and most recently, St. Barnabas on Montgomery Road. He enjoyed being involved in the different congregations and had a strong faith. In his free time, he dedicated many years to Scouting, a real passion of his. Jim loved fly fishing and tying flies. He was also involved in the Buckeye United Fly Fishers Club for several years. Of course we would be remiss not to mention his love of watching The Ohio State Buckeye Football games as well as the Cincinnati Reds.
