He was also active in Little League on a State and National Level, where he served as a D.A. for Massachusetts District 4. In addition to his Little League service, he also served on the Worcester Parks Commission and the Worcester Advisory Board.

Boisvert and her husband Brian of Oxford, and Theresa J. Hannam of Columbia, SC; a brother, Kevin J. Hannam of Worcester; two sisters, Maureen F. Trainor of Bradford, and Margaret Ross of North Sydney, Nova Scotia; five grandchildren, Owen C. Boisvert, Riley R. Boisvert, Andrew W. Boisvert, Elizabeth J. Moccia, and Tyler C. Germain; a great grandson, Carter D. Chaney; many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by two sisters, Susan M. Stapinski and Pauline A. Doyle.
